4 curl_share_init - Create a shared object

8 .BI "CURLSH *curl_share_init( );"
11 This function returns a CURLSH handle to be used as input to all the other
12 share-functions, sometimes referred to as a share handle in some places in the
13 documentation. This init call MUST have a corresponding call to
14 \fIcurl_share_cleanup\fP when all operations using the share are complete.
16 This \fIshare handle\fP is what you pass to curl using the \fICURLOPT_SHARE\fP
17 option with \fIcurl_easy_setopt(3)\fP, to make that specific curl handle use
18 the data in this share.
20 If this function returns NULL, something went wrong (out of memory, etc.)
21 and therefore the share object was not created.
