allows the application to set callbacks to replace the otherwise used internal
memory functions.
-When you use this function, all callback arguments must be set to valid
-function pointers. \fBIf you are using libcurl from multiple threads or with
-the threaded resolver (the default in Windows) the callback replacement
-functions must be thread safe.\fP
+This man page only adds documentation for the callbacks, see the
+\fIcurl_global_init(3)\fP man page for all the rest. When you use this
+function, all callback arguments must be set to valid function pointers.
The prototypes for the given callbacks should match these:
.IP "void *malloc_callback(size_t size);"
To replace strdup()
.IP "void *calloc_callback(size_t nmemb, size_t size);"
To replace calloc()

-This function is otherwise the same as \fIcurl_global_init(3)\fP, please refer
-to that man page for documentation.
.SH "CAUTION"
Manipulating these gives considerable powers to the application to severely
screw things up for libcurl. Take care!
