curl_free(3) Library Functions Manual curl_free(3)
NAME
curl_free - reclaim memory that has been obtained through a libcurl
call
SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h>
void curl_free(void *ptr);
DESCRIPTION
curl_free reclaims memory that has been obtained through a libcurl
call. Use curl_free(3) instead of free() to avoid anomalies that can
result from differences in memory management between your application
and libcurl.
Passing in a NULL pointer in ptr makes this function return immediately
with no action.
