When you use this +function, all callback arguments must be set to valid function pointers. + +The prototypes for the given callbacks should match these: +.IP "void *malloc_callback(size_t size);" +To replace malloc() +.IP "void free_callback(void *ptr);" +To replace free() +.IP "void *realloc_callback(void *ptr, size_t size);" +To replace realloc() +.IP "char *strdup_callback(const char *str);" +To replace strdup() +.IP "void *calloc_callback(size_t nmemb, size_t size);" +To replace calloc() +.SH "CAUTION" +Manipulating these gives considerable powers to the application to severly +screw things up for libcurl.
