-of it as an extension of the library loader.
+This function sets up the program environment that libcurl needs. Think of it
+as an extension of the library loader.
-This function must be called at least once within a program (a program is
-all the code that shares a memory space) before the program calls any other
-function in libcurl. The environment it sets up is constant for the life
-of the program and is the same for every program, so multiple calls have
-the same effect as one call.

The flags option is a bit pattern that tells libcurl exactly what features to
init, as described below. Set the desired bits by ORing the values together.
In normal operation, you must specify CURL_GLOBAL_ALL. Don't use any other
-value unless you are familiar with and mean to control internal operations
-of libcurl.

-\fBThis function is not thread safe.\fP You must not call it when any
-other thread in the program (i.e. a thread sharing the same memory) is
-running. This doesn't just mean no other thread that is using
-libcurl. Because \fIcurl_global_init()\fP calls functions of other
-libraries that are similarly thread unsafe, it could conflict with any
-other thread that uses these other libraries.
