NAME

       curl_multi_cleanup - close down a multi session

SYNOPSIS

       #include <curl/curl.h>

       CURLMcode curl_multi_cleanup(CURLM *multi_handle);

DESCRIPTION

       Cleans  up  and removes a whole multi stack. It does not free or touch any individual easy
       handles in any way  -  they  still  need  to  be  closed  individually,  using  the  usual
       curl_easy_cleanup(3) way. The order of cleaning up should be:

       1 - curl_multi_remove_handle(3) before any easy handles are cleaned up

       2  -  curl_easy_cleanup(3)  can  now  be  called independently since the easy handle is no
       longer connected to the multi handle

       3 - curl_multi_cleanup(3) should be called when all easy handles are removed

       Passing in a NULL pointer in multi_handle  makes  this  function  return  CURLM_BAD_HANDLE
       immediately with no other action.

EXAMPLE

       int main(void)
       {
         CURLM *multi = curl_multi_init();

         /* when the multi transfer is done ... */

         /* remove all easy handles, then: */
         curl_multi_cleanup(multi);
       }

AVAILABILITY

       Added in 7.9.6

RETURN VALUE

       CURLMcode  type,  general  libcurl  multi  interface  error  code. On success, CURLM_OK is
       returned.
