curl_global_init - Global libcurl initialisation
SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_global_init(long flags);
DESCRIPTION
This function should be called once (no matter how many
threads or libcurl sessions that'll be used) by every
application that uses libcurl.
If this function hasn't been invoked when curl_easy_init
is called, it will be done automatically by libcurl.
The flags option is a bit pattern that tells libcurl exact
what features to init, as described below. Set the desired
bits by ORing the values together.
You must however always use the curl_global_cleanup func
tion, as that cannot be called automatically for you by
libcurl.
This function was added in libcurl 7.8.
FLAGS
CURL_GLOBAL_ALL
Initialise everyting possible. This sets all known
bits.
CURL_GLOBAL_SSL
Initialise SSL
CURL_GLOBAL_NOTHING
Initialise nothing extra. This sets no bit.
RETURN VALUE
If this function returns non-zero, something went wrong
and you cannot use the other curl functions.
SEE ALSO
curl_global_cleanup(3),
