## NAME

curl_share_init - Create a shared object

## SYNOPSIS

#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLSH *curl_share_init( );

## DESCRIPTION

This function returns a CURLSH handle to be used as input to all the other share-functions, sometimes referred to as a share handle in some places in the documentation. This init call MUST have a corresponding call to curl_share_cleanup when all operations using the share are complete.

This share handle is what you pass to curl using the CURLOPT_SHARE(3) option with curl_easy_setopt, to make that specific curl handle use the data in this share.

## RETURN VALUE

If this function returns NULL, something went wrong (out of memory, etc.) and therefore the share object was not created.

## SEE ALSO

curl_share_cleanup curl_share_setopt
