| .TH curl_easy_cleanup 3 "22 aug 2007" "libcurl 7.17.0" "libcurl Manual" |
| .SH NAME |
| curl_easy_cleanup - End a libcurl easy session |
| .SH SYNOPSIS |
| .B #include <curl/curl.h> |
| |
| .BI "void curl_easy_cleanup(CURL *" handle ");" |
| |
| .SH DESCRIPTION |
| This function must be the last function to call for an easy session. It is the |
| opposite of the \fIcurl_easy_init(3)\fP function and must be called with the |
| same \fIhandle\fP 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 \fIcurl_easy_cleanup(3)\fP (if previously set for the handle using |
| \fIcurl_easy_setopt(3)\fP). 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 \fBhandle\fP 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. |
| .SH RETURN VALUE |
| None |
| .SH "SEE ALSO" |
| .BR curl_easy_init "(3), " |
