NAME

       curl_global_init_mem - Global libcurl initialisation with memory callbacks

SYNOPSIS

       #include <curl/curl.h>
       CURLcode curl_global_init_mem(long  flags,
        curl_malloc_callback  m,
        curl_free_callback  f,
        curl_realloc_callback  r,
        curl_strdup_callback  s,
        curl_calloc_callback  c );

DESCRIPTION

       This  function  works  exactly as curl_global_init(3) with one addition: it allows the application to set
       callbacks to replace the otherwise used internal memory functions.

       This man page only adds documentation for the callbacks, see the curl_global_init(3) man page for all the
       rest. When you use this function, all callback arguments must be set to valid function pointers.

       The prototypes for the given callbacks should match these:

       void *malloc_callback(size_t size);
              To replace malloc()

       void free_callback(void *ptr);
              To replace free()

       void *realloc_callback(void *ptr, size_t size);
              To replace realloc()

       char *strdup_callback(const char *str);
              To replace strdup()

       void *calloc_callback(size_t nmemb, size_t size);
              To replace calloc()

CAUTION

       Manipulating  these gives considerable powers to the application to severely screw things up for libcurl.
       Take care!
