This may be set to one of the values described below. .RS .IP CURL_LOCK_DATA_COOKIE Cookie data will be shared across the easy handles using this shared object. .IP CURL_LOCK_DATA_DNS Cached DNS hosts will be shared across the easy handles using this shared object. .RE .IP CURLSHOPT_UNSHARE This option does the opposite of \fICURLSHOPT_SHARE\fP. It specifies that the specified \fIparameter\fP will no longer be shared. Valid values are the same as those for \fICURLSHOPT_SHARE\fP. .IP CURLSHOPT_USERDATA The \fIparameter\fP allows you to specify a pointer to data that will passed to the lock_function and unlock_function each time it is called. .SH RETURN VALUE CURLSHE_OK (zero) means that the option was set properly, non-zero means an error occurred as \fI<curl/curl.h>\fP defines. See the \fIlibcurl-errors.3\fP man page for the full list with descriptions. .SH "SEE ALSO" .BR curl_share_cleanup "(3), " curl_share_init "(3)"
