NAME
       curl_global_init_mem  - Global libcurl initialisation with
       memory callbacks

SYNOPSIS
       #include 
       CURLcode curl_global_init_mem(long  flags,
        curl_malloc_callback  m,
        curl_free_callback  f,
        curl_realloc_callback  r,
        curl_strdup_callback  s,
        curl_calloc_callback  c );

DESCRIPTION
       This function works exactly  as  curl_global_init(3)  with
       one  addition:  it allows the application to set callbacks
       to replace the otherwise used internal memory functions.

       This man page only adds documentation for  the  callbacks,
       see  the  curl_global_init(3)  man  page for all the rest.
       When you use this function, all callback arguments must be
       set to valid function pointers.

       The prototypes for the given callbacks should match these:

       void *malloc_callback(size_t size);
              To replace malloc()

       void free_callback(void *ptr);
              To replace free()

       void *realloc_callback(void *ptr, size_t size);
              To replace realloc()

       char *strdup_callback(const char *str);
              To replace strdup()

       void *calloc_callback(size_t nmemb, size_t size);
              To replace calloc()

CAUTION
       Manipulating these gives considerable powers to the appli-
       cation  to severly screw things up for libcurl. Take care!
