22 .TH curl_formfree 3 "September 02, 2017" "libcurl 7.59.0" "libcurl Manual"
25 curl_formfree - free a previously build multipart/formdata HTTP POST chain
27 .B #include <curl/curl.h>
29 .BI "void curl_formfree(struct curl_httppost *" form);
32 This function is deprecated. Do not use! See \fIcurl_mime_init(3)\fP instead!
34 curl_formfree() is used to clean up data previously built/appended with
35 \fIcurl_formadd(3)\fP. This must be called when the data has been used, which
36 typically means after \fIcurl_easy_perform(3)\fP has been called.
38 The pointer to free is the same pointer you passed to the
39 \fICURLOPT_HTTPPOST(3)\fP option, which is the \fIfirstitem\fP pointer from
40 the \fIcurl_formadd(3)\fP invoke(s).
42 \fBform\fP is the pointer as returned from a previous call to
43 \fIcurl_formadd(3)\fP and may be NULL.
