When all is setup, you tell libcurl to perform the transfer. It will then do
the entire operation and won't return until it is done or failed.
After the performance is made, you cleanup the easy-session's handle and
libcurl is entire off the hook!

While the above four functions are the main functions to use in the easy
interface, there is a series of helpful functions to use. They are:
curl_version() - displays the libcurl version
curl_getdate() - converts a date string to time_t
curl_getenv() - portable environment variable reader
curl_formparse() - helps building a HTTP form POST
curl_slist_append() - builds a linked list
curl_slist_free_all() - frees a whole curl_slist
Read the separate man pages for these functions for details!
