  23. .SH NAME
  24. curl_share_init - Create a shared object
  25. .SH SYNOPSIS
  26. .B #include <curl/curl.h>
  27. .sp
  28. .BI "CURLSH *curl_share_init( );"
  29. .ad
  30. .SH DESCRIPTION
  31. This function returns a CURLSH handle to be used as input to all the other
  32. share-functions, sometimes referred to as a share handle in some places in the
  33. documentation. This init call MUST have a corresponding call to
  34. \fIcurl_share_cleanup\fP when all operations using the share are complete.
  35. This \fIshare handle\fP is what you pass to curl using the
  36. \fICURLOPT_SHARE(3)\fP option with \fIcurl_easy_setopt(3)\fP, to make that
  37. specific curl handle use the data in this share.
  38. .SH RETURN VALUE
  39. If this function returns NULL, something went wrong (out of memory, etc.)
  40. and therefore the share object was not created.
  41. .SH "SEE ALSO"
  42. .BR curl_share_cleanup "(3), " curl_share_setopt "(3)"
