CurlGlobalCleanup

CurlGlobalCleanup is a function provided by the libcurl library, which is a free and easy-to-use client-side URL transfer library. This function is used to clean up resources that were allocated during the use of libcurl. It is particularly important in applications that use libcurl extensively, as it helps to prevent memory leaks and other resource management issues.

The CurlGlobalCleanup function should be called once for every successful call to curl_global_init. This ensures that all global resources allocated by libcurl are properly released. Failure to call this function can lead to resource leaks, which can degrade the performance of the application over time.

It is recommended to call CurlGlobalCleanup at the end of the program or when the libcurl functionality is no longer needed. This can be done by placing the call in the main function or in a cleanup routine that is executed when the application exits.

In summary, CurlGlobalCleanup is a crucial function for managing resources in applications that use libcurl. By ensuring that this function is called appropriately, developers can help to maintain the stability and performance of their applications.
