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 applica-
     tion to severly screw things up for libcurl. Take care!
