NAME

     curl_easy_duphandle - Clone a libcurl session handle

SYNOPSIS

     #include <curl/curl.h>

     CURL *curl_easy_duphandle(CURL *handle);

DESCRIPTION

     This  function  will  return a new curl handle, a duplicate,
     using all the options previously set in the input curl  han­
     dle. Both handles can subsequently be used independently and
     they must both be freed with curl_easy_cleanup().

     All strings that the input handle has been told to point  to
     (as opposed to copy) with previous calls to curl_easy_setopt
     using char * inputs, will be pointed to by the new handle as
     well.  You  must therefore make sure to keep the data around
     until both handles have been cleaned up.

     The new handle will not inherit any  state  information,  no
     connections, no SSL sessions and no cookies.

     Note  that  even  in  multi-threaded programs, this function
     must be called in a synchronous way, the  input  handle  may
     not be in use when cloned.

     This function was added in libcurl 7.9.

RETURN VALUE

     If  this  function returns NULL, something went wrong and no
     valid handle was returned.
