NAME

       libcurl-easy - easy interface overview

DESCRIPTION

       When  using  libcurl's  "easy"  interface  you init your session and get a handle (often referred to as an "easy handle"), which you use as
       input to the easy interface functions you use. Use curl_easy_init(3) to get the handle.

       You continue by setting all the options you want in the upcoming transfer, the most important among them  is  the  URL  itself  (you  can't
       transfer  anything without a specified URL as you may have figured out yourself). You might want to set some callbacks as well that will be
       called from the library when data is available etc. curl_easy_setopt(3) is used for all this.

       When all is setup, you tell libcurl to perform the transfer using curl_easy_perform(3).	It will then do the  entire  operation	and  won't
       return until it is done (successfully or not).

       After  the  transfer  has  been	made, you can set new options and make another transfer, or if you're done, cleanup the session by calling
       curl_easy_cleanup(3). If you want persistent connections, you don't cleanup immediately, but instead run ahead and perform other  transfers
       using the same easy handle.
