NAME

curl_mime_free - free a previously built mime structure

SYNOPSIS

#include <curl/curl.h>

void curl_mime_free(curl_mime *mime);

DESCRIPTION

curl_mime_free(3) is used to clean up data previously built/appended with curl_mime_addpart(3) and other mime-handling functions. This must be called when the data has been used, which typically means after curl_easy_perform(3) has been called.

The handle to free is the one you passed to the CURLOPT_MIMEPOST(3) option: attached subparts mime structures must not be explicitly freed as they are by the top structure freeing.

mime is the handle as returned from a previous call to curl_mime_init(3) and may be NULL.

Passing in a NULL pointer in mime will make this function return immediately with no action.

AVAILABILITY

As long as at least one of HTTP, SMTP or IMAP is enabled. Added in 7.56.0.

RETURN VALUE

None
