trusty (3) curl_easy_cleanup.3.gz

NAME

       curl_easy_cleanup - End a libcurl easy session

SYNOPSIS

       #include <curl/curl.h>

       void curl_easy_cleanup(CURL *handle);

DESCRIPTION

       This  function  must  be  the  last  function  to  call  for  an  easy session. It is the opposite of the
       curl_easy_init(3) function and must be called with the same handle as input that the curl_easy_init  call
       returned.

       This  will  effectively  close all connections this handle has used and possibly has kept open until now.
       Don't call this function if you intend to transfer more files.

       Occasionally  you  may  get  your   progress   callback   or   header   callback   called   from   within
       curl_easy_cleanup(3)  (if  previously  set  for  the  handle  using curl_easy_setopt(3)). Like if libcurl
       decides to shut down the connection and the protocol is  of  a  kind  that  requires  a  command/response
       sequence before disconnect. Examples of such protocols are FTP, POP3 and IMAP.

       Any uses of the handle after this function has been called and have returned, are illegal. This kills the
       handle and all memory associated with it!

       With libcurl versions prior to 7.17.: when you've called this, you can  safely  remove  all  the  strings
       you've previously told libcurl to use, as it won't use them anymore now.

RETURN VALUE

       None
