curl_free(3)                        libcurl                       curl_free(3)

NAME
       curl_free  -  reclaim  memory  that has been obtained through a libcurl
       call

SYNOPSIS
       #include <curl/curl.h>

       void curl_free(void *ptr);

DESCRIPTION
       curl_free reclaims memory that has  been  obtained  through  a  libcurl
       call.  Use  curl_free(3)  instead of free() to avoid anomalies that can
       result from differences in memory management between  your  application
       and libcurl.

       Passing in a NULL pointer in ptr makes this function return immediately
       with no action.

EXAMPLE
         char *width = curl_getenv("COLUMNS");
         if(width) {
           /* it was set! */
           curl_free(width);
         }

AVAILABILITY
       Always

RETURN VALUE
       None
