curl_global_init_mem

curl_global_init_mem(3) 					  libcurl Manual					   curl_global_init_mem(3)

NAME

       curl_global_init_mem - Global libcurl initialisation with memory callbacks

SYNOPSIS

       #include <curl/curl.h>
       CURLcode curl_global_init_mem(long  flags,
	curl_malloc_callback  m,
	curl_free_callback  f,
	curl_realloc_callback  r,
	curl_strdup_callback  s,
	curl_calloc_callback  c );

DESCRIPTION

       This  function  works exactly as curl_global_init(3) with one addition: it allows the application to set callbacks to replace the otherwise
       used internal memory functions.

       This man page only adds documentation for the callbacks, see the curl_global_init(3) man page for all the rest. When you use this function,
       all callback arguments must be set to valid function pointers.

       The prototypes for the given callbacks should match these:

       void *malloc_callback(size_t size);
	      To replace malloc()

       void free_callback(void *ptr);
	      To replace free()

       void *realloc_callback(void *ptr, size_t size);
	      To replace realloc()

       char *strdup_callback(const char *str);
	      To replace strdup()

       void *calloc_callback(size_t nmemb, size_t size);
	      To replace calloc()

CAUTION

       Manipulating these gives considerable powers to the application to severly screw things up for libcurl. Take care!
