NAME

       curl_easy_duphandle - Clone a libcurl session handle

SYNOPSIS

       #include <curl/curl.h>

       CURL *curl_easy_duphandle(CURL *handle);

DESCRIPTION

       This  function  will return a new curl handle, a duplicate, using all the options previously set in the input curl handle. Both handles can
       subsequently be used independently and they must both be freed with curl_easy_cleanup(3).

       All strings that the input handle has been told to point to (as opposed to copy) with previous calls to curl_easy_setopt(3)  using  char  *
       inputs,	will  be  pointed  to by the new handle as well. You must therefore make sure to keep the data around until both handles have been
       cleaned up.

       The new handle will not inherit any state information, no connections, no SSL sessions and no cookies.

       Note that even in multi-threaded programs, this function must be called in a synchronous way, the input handle  may  not  be  in  use  when
       cloned.

RETURN VALUE

       If this function returns NULL, something went wrong and no valid handle was returned.
