  26. .SH SYNOPSIS
  27. .nf
  28. #include <curl/curl.h>
  29. CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_COOKIESESSION, long init);
  30. .fi
  31. .SH DESCRIPTION
  32. Pass a long set to 1 to mark this as a new cookie "session". It will force
  33. libcurl to ignore all cookies it is about to load that are "session cookies"
  34. from the previous session. By default, libcurl always stores and loads all
  35. cookies, independent if they are session cookies or not. Session cookies are
  36. cookies without expiry date and they are meant to be alive and existing for
  37. this "session" only.
  38. A "session" is usually defined in browser land for as long as you have your
  39. browser up, more or less.
