| .TH curl_global_init_mem 3 "10 May 2004" "libcurl 7.12.0" "libcurl Manual" |
| .SH NAME |
| curl_global_init_mem - Global libcurl initialisation with memory callbacks |
| .SH SYNOPSIS |
| .B #include <curl/curl.h> |
| .nf |
| .B "CURLcode curl_global_init_mem(long " flags, |
| .B " curl_malloc_callback "m, |
| .B " curl_free_callback "f, |
| .B " curl_realloc_callback "r, |
| .B " curl_strdup_callback "s, |
| .B " curl_calloc_callback "c ");" |
| .SH DESCRIPTION |
| This function works exactly as \fIcurl_global_init(3)\fP with one addition: it |
| allows the application to set callbacks to replace the otherwise used internal |
| memory functions. |
| |
| 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 malloc() |
| .IP "void free_callback(void *ptr);" |
| To replace free() |
| .IP "void *realloc_callback(void *ptr, size_t size);" |
| To replace realloc() |
| .IP "char *strdup_callback(const char *str);" |
| To replace strdup() |
| .IP "void *calloc_callback(size_t nmemb, size_t size);" |
| To replace calloc() |
| .SH "CAUTION" |
| Manipulating these gives considerable powers to the application to severly |
| screw things up for libcurl. Take care! |
