curl_share_init(3)                  libcurl                 curl_share_init(3)


NAME

       curl_share_init - Create a shared 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.


EXAMPLE

         CURLSHcode sh;
         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 7.10


RETURN VALUE

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