curl_global_init(3)	 libcurl Manual	      curl_global_init(3)

NAME
     curl_global_init - Global libcurl initialisation

SYNOPSIS
     #include <curl/curl.h>

     CURLcode curl_global_init(long flags);

DESCRIPTION
     This function should only be called once (no matter how many
     threads or libcurl sessions that'll be used) by every appli-
     cation that uses libcurl.

     If this function hasn't been invoked when	curl_easy_init(3)
     is called, it will be done automatically by libcurl.

     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 always use the curl_global_cleanup(3) func-
     tion, as that cannot be called automatically for you by lib-
     curl.

     Calling this function more than once will	cause  unpredict-
     able results.

FLAGS
     CURL_GLOBAL_ALL
	  Initialize everything possible.  This	 sets  all  known
	  bits.

     CURL_GLOBAL_SSL
	  Initialize SSL

     CURL_GLOBAL_WIN32
	  Initialize the Win32 socket libraries.

     CURL_GLOBAL_NOTHING
	  Initialise nothing extra. This sets no bit.

RETURN VALUE
     If this function returns non-zero, something went wrong  and
     you cannot use the other curl functions.

SEE ALSO
     curl_global_init_mem(3), curl_global_cleanup(3),
