curl_mime_free(3) Introduction to Library Functions curl_mime_free(3)

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 sub part 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 makes this function return
immediately with no action.

PROTOCOLS

This functionality affects http, imap and smtp

EXAMPLE

int main(void)
{
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
/* Build the mime message. */
curl_mime *mime = curl_mime_init(curl);

/* send off the transfer */

/* Free multipart message. */
curl_mime_free(mime);
}
}

AVAILABILITY
