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.

       If you are using libcurl from multiple threads or libcurl was built with  the  threaded  resolver  option
       then the callback functions must be thread safe. The threaded resolver is a common build option to enable
       (and in some cases the default) so we strongly urge you to make your callback functions thread safe.

       All callback arguments must be set to valid function pointers. The prototypes  for  the  given  callbacks
       must 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()
       This  function  is  otherwise  the  same  as  curl_global_init(3),  please  refer  to  that  man page for
       documentation.

CAUTION

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