NAME

       curl_multi_init - create a multi handle

SYNOPSIS

       #include <curl/curl.h>

       CURLM *curl_multi_init( );

DESCRIPTION

       This  function returns a CURLM handle to be used as input to all the other multi-functions, sometimes referred to as a multi handle in some
       places in the documentation. This init call MUST have a corresponding call to curl_multi_cleanup(3) when the operation is complete.

RETURN VALUE

       If this function returns NULL, something went wrong and you cannot use the other curl functions.

NAME

       curl_multi_cleanup - close down a multi session

SYNOPSIS

       #include <curl/curl.h>

       CURLMcode curl_multi_cleanup( CURLM *multi_handle );

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 curl_easy_cleanup(3) way. The order of cleaning up should be:

       1 - curl_multi_remove_handle(3) before any easy handles are cleaned up

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

       3 - curl_multi_cleanup(3) should be called when all easy handles are removed

RETURN VALUE

       CURLMcode type, general libcurl multi interface error code.
