.SH NAME

curl_global_init - Global libcurl initialisation

.SH SYNOPSIS

If this function hasn't been invoked when \fIcurl_easy_init\fP is called, it

will be done automatically by libcurl.

The flags option should be set to zero. It will be used to tell libcurl what

specific features it should \fBnot\fP init.

The flags option is a bit pattern that tells libcurl exact what features to

init, as described below. Set the desired bits by ORing the values together.

You must however \fBalways\fP use the \fIcurl_global_cleanup\fP function, as

that cannot be called automatically for you by libcurl.

This function was added in libcurl 7.8.

.SH RETURN VALUE
