  23. .SH NAME
  24. curl_formfree - free a previously build multipart/formdata HTTP POST chain
  25. .SH SYNOPSIS
  26. .B #include <curl/curl.h>
  27. .sp
  28. .BI "void curl_formfree(struct curl_httppost *" form);
  29. .ad
  30. .SH DESCRIPTION
  31. This function is deprecated. Do not use! See \fIcurl_mime_init(3)\fP instead!
  32. curl_formfree() is used to clean up data previously built/appended with
  33. \fIcurl_formadd(3)\fP. This must be called when the data has been used, which
  34. typically means after \fIcurl_easy_perform(3)\fP has been called.
  35. The pointer to free is the same pointer you passed to the
  36. \fICURLOPT_HTTPPOST(3)\fP option, which is the \fIfirstitem\fP pointer from
  37. the \fIcurl_formadd(3)\fP invoke(s).
  38. \fBform\fP is the pointer as returned from a previous call to
  39. \fIcurl_formadd(3)\fP and may be NULL.
  40. Passing in a NULL pointer in \fIform\fP will make this function return
  41. immediately with no action.
  42. .SH AVAILABILITY
  43. Deprecated in 7.56.0.
  44. .SH RETURN VALUE
  45. None
