NAME
       curl_easy_perform - perform a blocking file transfer

SYNOPSIS
       #include <curl/curl.h>

       CURLcode curl_easy_perform(CURL *easy_handle);

DESCRIPTION
       Invoke  this function after curl_easy_init(3) and all the curl_easy_setopt(3) calls are made, and will perform the transfer as described in
       the options. It must be called with the same easy_handle as input as the curl_easy_init(3) call returned.

       curl_easy_perform(3) performs the entire request in a blocking manner and returns when done, or if it failed.  For  non-blocking  behavior,
       see curl_multi_perform(3).

       You  can do any amount of calls to curl_easy_perform(3) while using the same easy_handle. If you intend to transfer more than one file, you
       are even encouraged to do so. libcurl will then attempt to re-use the same connection for the following transfers, thus making  the  opera-
       tions  faster,  less  CPU  intense  and	using  less network resources. Just note that you will have to use curl_easy_setopt(3) between the
       invokes to set options for the following curl_easy_perform.

       You must never call this function simultaneously from two places using the same easy_handle. Let the function return first before  invoking
       it another time. If you want parallel transfers, you must use several curl easy_handles.

       While the easy_handle is added to a multi handle, it cannot be used by curl_easy_perform(3).

RETURN VALUE
       CURLE_OK  (0)  means  everything  was  ok,  non-zero  means an error occurred as <curl/curl.h> defines - see libcurl-errors(3). If the CUR-
       LOPT_ERRORBUFFER(3) was set with curl_easy_setopt(3) there will be a readable error message in the error buffer when non-zero is returned.

EXAMPLE
       CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
       if(curl) {
	 CURLcode res;
	 curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "http://example.com");
	 res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
	 curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
       }
