curlglobalinitmem(3)         libcurl Manual         curlglobalinitmem(3)



NAME
       curlglobalinitmem  - Global libcurl initialisation with memory call-
       backs

SYNOPSIS
       ##include <>
       CURLcode curlglobalinitmem(long  flags,,
        curlmalloccallback  m,,
        curlfreecallback  f,,
        curlrealloccallback  r,,
        curlstrdupcallback  s,,
        curlcalloccallback  c );;

DESCRIPTION
       This function works exactly as curlglobalinit(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
       curlglobalinit(3)  man page for all the rest. When you use this func-
       tion, all callback arguments must be set to valid function pointers.

       The prototypes for the given callbacks should match these:

       void *malloccallback(sizet size);
              To replace malloc()

       void freecallback(void *ptr);
              To replace free()

       void *realloccallback(void *ptr, sizet size);
              To replace realloc()

       char *strdupcallback(const char *str);
              To replace strdup()

       void *calloccallback(sizet nmemb, sizet size);
              To replace calloc()

CAUTION
       Manipulating these gives considerable powers to the application to sev-
       erly screw things up for libcurl. Take care!
