This init call MUST have a corresponding 31call to curl_share_cleanup(3) when all operations using the share are 32complete. 33 34This *share handle* is what you pass to curl using the 35CURLOPT_SHARE(3) option with curl_easy_setopt(3), to make that 36specific curl handle use the data in this share. 37 38# EXAMPLE 39 40~~~c 41int main(void) 42{ 43 CURLSHcode sh; 44 CURLSH *share = curl_share_init(); 45 sh = curl_share_setopt(share, CURLSHOPT_SHARE, CURL_LOCK_DATA_CONNECT); 46 if(sh) 47 printf("Error: %s\n", curl_share_strerror(sh)); 48} 49~~~ 50 51# AVAILABILITY 52 53Added in 7.10 54 55# RETURN VALUE 56 57If this function returns NULL, something went wrong (out of memory, etc.) 58and therefore the share object was not created. 59
