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
