 libcurl-easy \- easy interface overview
 .SH DESCRIPTION
 When using libcurl's "easy" interface you init your session and get a handle
-(often referred to as an "easy handle" in various docs and sources), which you
-use as input to the easy interface functions you use. Use
-\fIcurl_easy_init(3)\fP to get the handle.

 You continue by setting all the options you want in the upcoming transfer, the

 You can have multiple easy handles share certain data, even if they are used
 in different threads. This magic is setup using the share interface, as
 described in the \fIlibcurl-share(3)\fP man page.
