curl_global_cleanup(3)                         libcurl Manual                         curl_global_cleanup(3)



NAME
       curl_global_cleanup - global libcurl cleanup

SYNOPSIS
       #include <curl/curl.h>

       void curl_global_cleanup(void);

DESCRIPTION
       This function releases resources acquired by curl_global_init(3).

       You  should call curl_global_cleanup(3) once for each call you make to curl_global_init(3), after you
       are done using libcurl.

       This function is not thread safe. You must not call it when any other thread in the program  (i.e.  a
       thread  sharing  the  same  memory) is running.  This doesn't just mean no other thread that is using
       libcurl.  Because curl_global_cleanup(3) calls functions of other libraries that are similarly thread
       unsafe, it could conflict with any other thread that uses these other libraries.

       See  the  description in libcurl(3) of global environment requirements for details of how to use this
       function.
