curl_multi_init3
Create a multi handle
Usage
#include <curl/curl.h> CURLM *curl_multi_init();
Overview
This function returns a pointer to a CURLM handle to be used as input to all the other multi-functions, sometimes referred to as a multi handle in some places in the documentation. This init call MUST have a corresponding call to curl_multi_cleanup(3) when the operation is complete.
Examples
int main(void)
{
/* init a multi stack */
CURLM *multi = curl_multi_init();
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
CURL *curl2 = curl_easy_init();
/* add individual transfers */
curl_multi_add_handle(multi, curl);
curl_multi_add_handle(multi, curl2);
}
Return value
If this function returns NULL, something went wrong and you cannot use the other curl functions.
