curl_easy_duphandle(3)                         libcurl Manual                         curl_easy_duphandle(3)



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 cook-ies. cookies.
       ies.

       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.
