NAME¶
curl_global_init_mem - Global libcurl initialisation with memory callbacks
SYNOPSIS¶
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_global_init_mem(long flags, curl_malloc_callback m, curl_free_callback f, curl_realloc_callback r, curl_strdup_callback s, curl_calloc_callback c );
DESCRIPTION¶
This function works exactly as curl_global_init(3) with one addition: it allows the application to set callbacks to replace the otherwise used internal memory functions.
This man page only adds documentation for the callbacks, see the curl_global_init(3) man page for all the rest. When you use this function, all callback arguments must be set to valid function pointers.
The prototypes for the given callbacks should match these:
- void *malloc_callback(size_t size);
- To replace malloc()
- void free_callback(void *ptr);
- To replace free()
- void *realloc_callback(void *ptr, size_t size);
- To replace realloc()
- char *strdup_callback(const char *str);
- To replace strdup()
- void *calloc_callback(size_t nmemb, size_t size);
- To replace calloc()
CAUTION¶
Manipulating these gives considerable powers to the application to severely screw things up for libcurl. Take care!
