CURLOPT_DNS_USE_GLOBAL_CACHE3
Global dns cache
Usage
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_DNS_USE_GLOBAL_CACHE,
long enable);
Overview
Has no function since 7.62.0. Do not use!
Pass a long. If the enable value is 1, it tells curl to use a global DNS cache that survives between easy handle creations and deletions. This is not thread-safe and this uses a global variable.
See CURLOPT_SHARE(3) and curl_share_init(3) for the correct way to share DNS cache between transfers.

curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_DNS_USE_GLOBAL_CACHE, 0L);
ret = curl_easy_perform(curl);
curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
}
}
Return value
Returns CURLE_OK if the option is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not.
