.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>

.sp

.BI "CURL *curl_easy_duphandle(CURL *"handle ");"

.ad

.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()\fP.

All strings that the input handle has been told to point to (as opposed to

copy) with previous calls to \fIcurl_easy_setopt\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.

This function was added in libcurl 7.9.

.SH RETURN VALUE

If this function returns NULL, something went wrong and no valid handle was

returned.
