.SH "LIBCURL SYMBOL NAMES"
All public functions in the libcurl interface are prefixed with 'curl_' (with
a lowercase c). You can find other functions in the library source code, but
.B exactly
the same, on any of the platforms it compiles and builds on.
.SH "THREADS"
-Never ever call curl-functions simultaneously using the same handle from
-several threads. libcurl is thread-safe and can be used in any number of
-threads, but you must use separate curl handles if you want to use libcurl in
-more than one thread simultaneously.
-
-The global environment functions are not thread-safe. See \fBGLOBAL
-CONSTANTS\fP below for details.
+libcurl is thread safe but there are a few exceptions. Refer to
+\fIlibcurl-thread(3)\fP for more information.
.SH "PERSISTENT CONNECTIONS"
Persistent connections means that libcurl can re-use the same connection for
projects / platform / upstream / curl.git / blobdiff
