| .TH curl_easy_duphandle 3 "18 September 2001" "libcurl 7.9" "libcurl Manual" |
| .SH NAME |
| curl_easy_duphandle - Clone a libcurl session handle |
| .SH SYNOPSIS |
| .B #include <curl/curl.h> |
| |
| .BI "CURL *curl_easy_duphandle(CURL *"handle ");" |
| |
| .SH DESCRIPTION |
| This function will return a new curl handle, a duplicate, using all the |
| options previously set in the input curl \fIhandle\fP. Both handles can |
| subsequently be used independently and they must both be freed with |
| \fIcurl_easy_cleanup(3)\fP. |
| |
| All strings that the input handle has been told to point to (as opposed to |
| copy) with previous calls to \fIcurl_easy_setopt(3)\fP 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 \fBnot\fP inherit any state information, no connections, |
| no SSL sessions and no cookies. |
| |
| \fBNote\fP 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. |
| .SH RETURN VALUE |
| If this function returns NULL, something went wrong and no valid handle was |
| returned. |
