# NAME
curl_multi_init - create a multi handle
# SYNOPSIS
~~~c
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLM *curl_multi_init();
~~~
# DESCRIPTION
This function returns a pointer to a *CURLM* handle to be used as input to
all the other multi-functions, sometimes referred to as a multi handle in some
places in the documentation. This init call MUST have a corresponding call to
curl_multi_cleanup(3) when the operation is complete.
# EXAMPLE
~~~c
int main(void)
{
/* init a multi stack */
CURLM *multi = curl_multi_init();
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
CURL *curl2 = curl_easy_init();
/* add individual transfers */
curl_multi_add_handle(multi, curl);
curl_multi_add_handle(multi, curl2);
}
~~~
# AVAILABILITY
Added in 7.9.6
# RETURN VALUE
If this function returns NULL, something went wrong and you cannot use the
other curl functions.
