NAME

       curl_url - returns a new URL handle

SYNOPSIS

       #include <curl/curl.h>

       CURLU *curl_url();

DESCRIPTION

       This  function  allocates  a  URL  object and returns a CURLU handle for it, to be used as
       input to all other URL API functions.

       This is a handle to a URL object that holds or can hold URL components for a  single  URL.
       When  the  object is first created, there is of course no components stored. They are then
       set in the object with the curl_url_set(3) function.

EXAMPLE

       int main(void)
       {
         CURLUcode rc;
         CURLU *url = curl_url();
         rc = curl_url_set(url, CURLUPART_URL, "https://example.com", 0);
         if(!rc) {
           char *scheme;
           rc = curl_url_get(url, CURLUPART_SCHEME, &scheme, 0);
           if(!rc) {
             printf("the scheme is %s\n", scheme);
             curl_free(scheme);
           }
           curl_url_cleanup(url);
         }
       }
