gnurl_share_init(3)

🦋 gnurl_share_init(3) — libgnurl Manual 🦋

🌸 NAME 🌸

curl_share_init — Create a shared object

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <gnurl/curl.h>

CURLSH *curl_share_init( );

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so bestie, this function returns a CURLSH handle. That handle is literally what you feed as input to all the other share-functions — sometimes the docs call it a share handle, iykyk. 🫶

🚨 Important: this init call MUST have a corresponding call to curl_share_cleanup when all operations using the share are complete. No ghosting your cleanup, okay? 😭

This share handle is the thing you pass to curl using the CURLOPT_SHARE(3) option with curl_easy_setopt(3), so that specific curl handle uses the data in this share. Main character energy for your shared data, periodt. 💅

🎀 RETURN VALUE 🎀

If this function returns NULL, something went wrong (out of memory, etc.) and therefore the share object was not created. Not the slay we wanted. 💀
