curl_easy_init - Start a libcurl easy session

SYNOPSIS

       #include <curl/curl.h>

       CURL *curl_easy_init( );

DESCRIPTION

       This  function  must be the first function to call, and it
       returns a CURL easy handle that you must use as  input  to
       other  easy-functions.  curl_easy_init intializes curl and
       this   call   MUST   have   a   corresponding   call    to
       curl_easy_cleanup when the operation is complete.

RETURN VALUE

       If  this  function  returns NULL, something went wrong and
       you cannot use the other curl functions.

       curl_easy_cleanup(3), curl_global_init(3)
