| .SH NAME |
| curl_share_init - Create a shared object |
| .SH SYNOPSIS |
| .B #include <curl/curl.h> |
| .sp |
| .BI "CURLSH *curl_share_init( );" |
| .ad |
| .SH DESCRIPTION |
| This function returns a CURLSH handle to be used as input to all the other |
| share-functions, sometimes referred to as a share handle on some places in the |
| documentation. This init call MUST have a corresponding call to |
| \fIcurl_share_cleanup\fP when all operations using the share are complete. |
| |
| This \fIshare handle\fP is what you pass to curl using the \fICURLOPT_SHARE\fP |
| option with \fIcurl_easy_setopt(3)\fP, to make that specific curl handle use |
| the data in this share. |
| .SH RETURN VALUE |
| If this function returns NULL, something went wrong (out of memory, etc.) |
| and therefore the share object was not created. |
| .SH "SEE ALSO" |
| .BR curl_share_cleanup "(3), " curl_share_setopt "(3)" |
