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(3), 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.
