24 curl_global_init_mem - Global libcurl initialisation with memory callbacks

35 This function works exactly as \fIcurl_global_init(3)\fP with one addition: it
36 allows the application to set callbacks to replace the otherwise used internal
39 This man page only adds documentation for the callbacks, see the
40 \fIcurl_global_init(3)\fP man page for all the rest. When you use this
41 function, all callback arguments must be set to valid function pointers.
43 The prototypes for the given callbacks should match these:
44 .IP "void *malloc_callback(size_t size);"
46 .IP "void free_callback(void *ptr);"
48 .IP "void *realloc_callback(void *ptr, size_t size);"
50 .IP "char *strdup_callback(const char *str);"
52 .IP "void *calloc_callback(size_t nmemb, size_t size);"
55 Manipulating these gives considerable powers to the application to severly
56 screw things up for libcurl. Take care!
