.TH curl_multi_cleanup 3 "1 March 2002" "libcurl 7.9.5" "libcurl Manual"
.SH NAME
curl_multi_cleanup - close down a multi session
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B #include <curl/curl.h>
.sp
.BI "CURLMcode curl_multi_cleanup( CURLM *multi_handle );"
.ad
.SH DESCRIPTION
Cleans up and removes a whole multi stack. It does not free or touch any
individual easy handles in any way - they still need to be closed
individually, using the usual \fIcurl_easy_cleanup(3)\fP way. The order of
cleaning up should be:

1 - \fIcurl_multi_remove_handle(3)\fP before any easy handles are cleaned up

2 - \fIcurl_easy_cleanup(3)\fP can now be called independently since the easy
handle is no longer connected to the multi handle

3 - \fIcurl_multi_cleanup(3)\fP should be called when all easy handles are
removed
.SH RETURN VALUE
CURLMcode type, general libcurl multi interface error code.
