22 .TH curl_multi_init 3 "1 March 2002" "libcurl 7.9.5" "libcurl Manual"
24 curl_multi_init - create a multi handle
26 .B #include <curl/curl.h>
28 .BI "CURLM *curl_multi_init( );"
31 This function returns a CURLM handle to be used as input to all the other
32 multi-functions, sometimes referred to as a multi handle in some places in the
33 documentation. This init call MUST have a corresponding call to
34 \fIcurl_multi_cleanup(3)\fP when the operation is complete.
36 If this function returns NULL, something went wrong and you cannot use the
39 .BR curl_multi_cleanup "(3)," curl_global_init "(3)," curl_easy_init "(3)"
