.SH NAME
curl_easy_init - Start a libcurl session
.SH SYNOPSIS
@@ -17,14 +17,6 @@ intializes curl and this call MUST have a corresponding call to
.I curl_easy_cleanup
when the operation is complete.
-On win32 systems, if you want to init the winsock stuff manually, libcurl will
-not do that for you. WSAStartup() and WSACleanup() should then be called
-accordingly. If you want libcurl to handle this, use the CURL_GLOBAL_WIN32
-flag in the initial curl_global_init() call.
-
-Using libcurl 7.7 and later, you should perform all your sequential file
-transfers using the same curl handle. This enables libcurl to use persistant
-connections where possible.
.SH RETURN VALUE
If this function returns NULL, something went wrong and you cannot use the
other curl functions.
