They can be seen as one low-level and one high-level, in the sense - that the low-level one will allow you to deal with a lot more details but on - the other hand not offer as many fancy features (such as Location: - following). The high-level interface is supposed to be a built-in - implementation of the low-level interface. You will not be able to mix - function calls from the different layers. - - As we currently ONLY support the high-level interface, the so called easy - interface, I will not attempt to describe any low-level functions at this - point. - -Function descriptions - - The interface is meant to be very simple for very simple - implementations. Thus, we have minimized the number of entries. - -The Easy Interface - - When using the easy interface, you init your easy-session and get a handle, - which you use as input to the following interface functions you use. - - You continue by setting all the options you want in the upcoming transfer, - most important among them is the URL itself. You might want to set some - callbacks as well that will be called from the library when data is available - etc. - - When all is setup, you tell libcurl to perform the transfer. It will then do - the entire operation and won't return until it is done or failed. - - After the transfer has been made, you cleanup the easy-session's handle and - libcurl is entirely off the hook! - - curl_easy_init() - curl_easy_setopt() - curl_easy_perform() - curl_easy_cleanup() - - While the above four functions are the main functions to use in the easy - interface, there is a series of helpful functions to use. They are: - - curl_version() - displays the libcurl version - curl_getdate() - converts a date string to time_t - curl_getenv() - portable environment variable reader - curl_formparse() - helps building a HTTP form POST - curl_slist_append() - builds a linked list - curl_slist_free_all() - frees a whole curl_slist - - Read the separate man pages for these functions for details! - |
