curl_global_init_mem(3) libcurl Manual curl_global_init_mem(3)

NAME

curl_global_init_mem - Global libcurl initialization 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:

To replace malloc()
To replace free()
To replace realloc()
To replace strdup()
To replace calloc()

CAUTION

Manipulating these gives considerable powers to the application to severely screw things up for libcurl. Take care!
