.TH curl_easy_init 3 "26 September 2000" "Curl 7.0" "libcurl Manual"
.SH NAME
curl_easy_init - Start a libcurl "easy" session
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B #include <curl/easy.h>
.sp
.BI "CURL *curl_easy_init( );"
.ad
.SH DESCRIPTION
This function must be the first function to call, and it returns a CURL handle
that you shall use as input to the other easy-functions. The init calls
intializes curl and this call MUST have a corresponding call to
.I curl_easy_cleanup
when the operation is complete.
On win32 systems, you need to init the winsock stuff manually, libcurl will
not do that for you. WSAStartup() and WSACleanup() should be used accordingly.
.SH RETURN VALUE
If this function returns NULL, something went wrong and you cannot use the
other curl functions.
.SH "SEE ALSO"
.BR curl_easy_cleanup "(3), "
.SH BUGS
Surely there are some, you tell me!
