gnurl_multi_init(3)

okay so welcome to the libgnurl Manual, bestie — today’s main character is gnurl_multi_init(3) and the vibe is “we’re making a multi handle” 💅✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

curl_multi_init - create a multi handle 🎀

and yes, the page is gnurl_multi_init(3) while the NAME line says curl_multi_init; that’s just how it is, iykyk 😌

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <gnurl/curl.h>

CURLM *curl_multi_init( );

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so this function returns a CURLM handle, and you’re gonna use it as input to all the other multi-functions — sometimes people call it a multi handle in some places in the documentation, so don’t be confused, it’s the same bestie 🫶

This init call MUST have a corresponding call to curl_multi_cleanup(3) when the operation is complete. Like, not optional, not “maybe later,” not “I’ll do it tomorrow” — MUST 💀

🌈 RETURN VALUE 🌈

If this function returns NULL, something went wrong and you cannot use the other curl functions. That’s the whole mood: NULL = nope, can’t use the other curl functions 😭

💜 SEE ALSO 💜

The whole squad is literally curl_multi_cleanup(3),curl_global_init(3),curl_easy_init(3) — go give them a read, bestie 🍓

later bestie, this page is from libcurl 7.9.5, dated 1 March 2002, and it’s all about gnurl_multi_init(3) 💖✨
