curl_url(3)                Library Functions Manual                curl_url(3)

NAME
       curl_url - returns a new URL handle

SYNOPSIS
       #include <curl/curl.h>

       CURLU *curl_url();

DESCRIPTION
       This function allocates a URL object and returns a CURLU handle for it,
       to be used as input to all other URL API functions.

       This is a handle to a URL object that holds or can hold URL components
       for a single URL. When the object is first created, there is of course
       no components stored. They are then set in the object with the
       curl_url_set(3) function.

PROTOCOLS

EXAMPLE
       int main(void)
       {
         CURLUcode rc;
         CURLU *url = curl_url();
         rc = curl_url_set(url, CURLUPART_URL, "https://example.com", 0);
         if(!rc) {
           char *scheme;
           rc = curl_url_get(url, CURLUPART_SCHEME, &scheme, 0);
           if(!rc) {
             printf("the scheme is %s\n", scheme);
             curl_free(scheme);
           }
