curl_global_init_mem(3) libcurl Manual curl_global_init_mem(3)NAMEcurl_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 applica-
tion to severly screw things up for libcurl. Take care!
