It is the opposite of the <a Class="emphasis" href="/curl_easy_init.html">curl_easy_init</a> function and must be called with the same <span Class="emphasis">handle</span> as input that the curl_easy_init call returned. 54<p class="level0">This will effectively close all connections this handle has used and possibly has kept open until now. Don't call this function if you intend to transfer more files. 55<p class="level0">Occasionally you may get your progress callback or header callback called from within <a Class="emphasis" href="/curl_easy_cleanup.html">curl_easy_cleanup</a> (if previously set for the handle using <a Class="emphasis" href="/curl_easy_setopt.html">curl_easy_setopt</a>). Like if libcurl decides to shut down the connection and the protocol is of a kind that requires a command/response sequence before disconnect. Examples of such protocols are FTP, POP3 and IMAP. 56<p class="level0">Any uses of the <span Class="bold">handle</span> after this function has been called and have returned, are illegal. This kills the handle and all memory associated with it! 57<p class="level0">With libcurl versions prior to 7.17.: when you've called this, you can safely remove all the strings you've previously told libcurl to use, as it won't use them anymore now. <a name="RETURN"></a><h2 class="nroffsh">RETURN VALUE</h2> 58<p class="level0">None <a name="SEE"></a><h2 class="nroffsh">SEE ALSO</h2> 59<p class="level0"><a Class="manpage" href="/curl_easy_init.html">curl_easy_init</a> <span Class="manpage"> </span> 60<p class="level0"><p class="roffit"> 61 This HTML page was made with <a href="http://daniel.haxx.se/projects/roffit/">roffit</a>. 62</body></html> 63
