NAME

       curl_share_init - create a share object

SYNOPSIS

       #include <curl/curl.h>

       CURLSH *curl_share_init();

DESCRIPTION

       This  function returns a pointer to a CURLSH handle to be used as input to all the other share-functions,
       sometimes referred to as a share handle in some places in the documentation. This init call MUST  have  a
       corresponding call to curl_share_cleanup(3) when all operations using the share are complete.

       This share handle is what you pass to curl using the CURLOPT_SHARE(3) option with curl_easy_setopt(3), to
       make that specific curl handle use the data in this share.

PROTOCOLS

       This functionality affects all supported protocols

EXAMPLE

       int main(void)
       {
         CURLSHcode sh;
         CURLSH *share = curl_share_init();
         sh = curl_share_setopt(share, CURLSHOPT_SHARE, CURL_LOCK_DATA_CONNECT);
         if(sh)
           printf("Error: %s\n", curl_share_strerror(sh));
       }

AVAILABILITY

       Added in curl 7.10

RETURN VALUE

       If this function returns NULL, something went wrong (out of memory, etc.)  and therefore the share object
       was not created.
