Think of it +as an extension of the library loader. + +This function must be called at least once within a program (a program is all +the code that shares a memory space) before the program calls any other +function in libcurl. The environment it sets up is constant for the life of +the program and is the same for every program, so multiple calls have the same +effect as one call. + +The flags option is a bit pattern that tells libcurl exactly what features to +init, as described below. Set the desired bits by ORing the values together. +In normal operation, you must specify CURL_GLOBAL_ALL. Don't use any other +value unless you are familiar with it and mean to control internal operations of +libcurl. + +\fBThis function is not thread safe.\fP You must not call it when any other +thread in the program (i.e. a thread sharing the same memory) is running. +This doesn't just mean no other thread that is using libcurl. Because +\fIcurl_global_init()\fP calls functions of other libraries that are similarly +thread unsafe, it could conflict with any other thread that uses these other +libraries. + +See the description in \fBlibcurl\fP(3) of global environment requirements for +details of how to use this function. + +.SH FLAGS +.TP 5 +.B CURL_GLOBAL_ALL +Initialize everything possible. This sets all known bits. +.TP +.B CURL_GLOBAL_SSL +Initialize SSL +.TP +.B CURL_GLOBAL_WIN32 +Initialize the Win32 socket libraries. +.TP +.B CURL_GLOBAL_NOTHING +Initialise nothing extra. This sets no bit. +.TP +.B CURL_GLOBAL_DEFAULT +A sensible default. It will init both SSL and Win32. Right now, this equals +the functionality of the \fBCURL_GLOBAL_ALL\fP mask. +.SH RETURN VALUE +If this function returns non-zero, something went wrong and you cannot use the +other curl functions. +.SH "SEE ALSO" +.BR curl_global_init_mem "(3), " +.BR curl_global_cleanup "(3), " +.BR curl_easy_init "(3) " +.BR libcurl "(3) " |
