libcurl(3) libcurl easy interface libcurl(3)
NAME
libcurl-easy - easy interface overview
DESCRIPTION
When using libcurl’s "easy" interface you init your session and get a handle (often
referred to as an "easy handle"), which you use as input to the easy interface
functions you use. Use curl_easy_init(3) to get the handle.
You continue by setting all the options you want in the upcoming transfer, the most
important among them is the URL itself (you can’t transfer anything without a spec-
ified URL as you may have figured out yourself). You might want to set some call-
backs as well that will be called from the library when data is available etc.
curl_easy_setopt(3) is used for all this.
When all is setup, you tell libcurl to perform the transfer using curl_easy_per-
form(3). It will then do the entire operation and won’t return until it is done
(successfully or not).
After the transfer has been made, you can set new options and make another trans-
fer, or if you’re done, cleanup the session by calling curl_easy_cleanup(3). If you
want persistent connections, you don’t cleanup immediately, but instead run ahead
and perform other transfers using the same easy handle.
