curl_multi_cleanup(3)      Library Functions Manual      curl_multi_cleanup(3)

NAME
       curl_multi_cleanup - close down a multi session

SYNOPSIS
       #include <curl/curl.h>

       CURLMcode curl_multi_cleanup(CURLM *multi_handle);

DESCRIPTION
       Cleans up and removes a whole multi stack. It does not free or touch
       any individual easy handles in any way - they still need to be closed
       individually, using the usual curl_easy_cleanup(3) way. The order of
       cleaning up should be:

       1 - curl_multi_remove_handle(3) before any easy handles are cleaned up

       2 - curl_easy_cleanup(3) can now be called independently since the easy
       handle is no longer connected to the multi handle

       3 - curl_multi_cleanup(3) should be called when all easy handles are
       removed

       Passing in a NULL pointer in multi_handle makes this function return
       CURLM_BAD_HANDLE immediately with no other action.

PROTOCOLS
       All

EXAMPLE
       int main(void)
       {
         CURLM *multi = curl_multi_init();

         /* when the multi transfer is done ... */

         /* remove all easy handles, then: */
         curl_multi_cleanup(multi);
       }

AVAILABILITY
       Added in 7.9.6
