NAME
curl_global_init_mem - Global libcurl initialisation with memory callbacks
SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h> CURLcode curl_global_init_mem(long flags, curl_malloc_callback m, curl_free_callback f, curl_realloc_callback r, curl_strdup_callback s, curl_calloc_callback c );
DESCRIPTION
This function works exactly as curl_global_init(3) with one addition: it allows the application to set callbacks to replace the otherwise used internal memory functions.
This man page only adds documentation for the callbacks, see the curl_global_init(3) man page for all the rest. When you use this function, all callback arguments must be set to valid function pointers.
The prototypes for the given callbacks should match these:
| void *malloc_callback(size_t size); | To replace malloc() |
| void free_callback(void *ptr); | To replace free() |
| void *realloc_callback(void *ptr, size_t size); | To replace realloc() |
| char *strdup_callback(const char *str); | To replace strdup() |
| void *calloc_callback(size_t nmemb, size_t size); | To replace calloc() |
CAUTION
Manipulating these gives considerable powers to the application to severly screw things up for libcurl. Take care!
