.SH SYNOPSIS

CURLSHcode curl_share_setopt(CURLSH *share, CURLSHoption option, parameter);
.ad
.SH DESCRIPTION
Set the \fIoption\fP to \fIparameter\fP for the given \fIshare\fP.
.SH OPTIONS
.IP CURLSHOPT_LOCKFUNC
The \fIparameter\fP must be a pointer to a function matching the following
prototype:

void lock_function(CURL *handle, curl_lock_data data, curl_lock_access access,
void *userptr);

\fIdata\fP defines what data libcurl wants to lock, and you must make sure that
only one lock is given at any time for each kind of data.

\fIaccess\fP defines what access type libcurl wants, shared or single.

\fIuserptr\fP is the pointer you set with \fICURLSHOPT_USERDATA\fP.
.IP CURLSHOPT_UNLOCKFUNC
The \fIparameter\fP must be a pointer to a function matching the following
prototype:

void unlock_function(CURL *handle, curl_lock_data data, void *userptr);

\fIdata\fP defines what data libcurl wants to unlock, and you must make sure
that only one lick is given at any time for each kind of data.

\fIuserptr\fP is the pointer you set with \fICURLSHOPT_USERDATA\fP.
.IP CURLSHOPT_SHARE
The \fIparameter\fP specifies a type of data that should be shared. This may
be set to one of the values described below.
.RS
.IP CURL_LOCK_DATA_COOKIE
Cookie data will be shared across the easy handles using this shared object.
.IP CURL_LOCK_DATA_DNS
Cached DNS hosts will be shared across the easy handles using this shared
object. Note that when you use the multi interface, all easy handles added to
the same multi handle will share DNS cache by default without this having to
be used!
.RE
.IP CURLSHOPT_UNSHARE
This option does the opposite of \fICURLSHOPT_SHARE\fP. It specifies that
the specified \fIparameter\fP will no longer be shared. Valid values are 
the same as those for \fICURLSHOPT_SHARE\fP.
.IP CURLSHOPT_USERDATA
The \fIparameter\fP allows you to specify a pointer to data that will passed
to the lock_function and unlock_function each time it is called.
.SH RETURN VALUE
CURLSHE_OK (zero) means that the option was set properly, non-zero means an
error occurred as \fI<curl/curl.h>\fP defines. See the \fIlibcurl-errors.3\fP
man page for the full list with descriptions.
