curl_mime_init 3 "September 22, 2017" "libcurl 7.64.1" "libcurl Manual"
NAME
curl_mime_init - create a mime handle
SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h> "curl_mime * curl_mime_init(CURL * " easy_handle ");" .ad
DESCRIPTION
curl_mime_init(3) creates a handle to a new empty mime structure
intended to be used with easy_handle. This mime structure can be
subsequently filled using the mime API, then attached to easy_handle
using option CURLOPT_MIMEPOST(3) within a curl_easy_setopt(3)
call.
Using a mime handle is the recommended way to post an HTTP form, format and
send a multi-part e-mail with SMTP or upload such an e-mail to an IMAP server.
AVAILABILITY
As long as at least one of HTTP, SMTP or IMAP is enabled. Added in 7.56.0.
RETURN VALUE
A mime struct handle, or NULL upon failure.
EXAMPLE
CURL *easy = curl_easy_init(); curl_mime *mime; curl_mimepart *part; /* Build an HTTP form with a single field named "data", */ mime = curl_mime_init(easy); part = curl_mime_addpart(mime); curl_mime_data(part, "This is the field data", CURL_ZERO_TERMINATED); curl_mime_name(part, "data"); /* Post and send it. */ curl_easy_setopt(easy, CURLOPT_MIMEPOST, mime); curl_easy_setopt(easy, CURLOPT_URL, "http://example.com"); curl_easy_perform(easy); /* Clean-up. */ curl_easy_cleanup(easy); curl_mime_free(mime);"SEE ALSO"curl_mime_addpart "(3)," curl_mime_free "(3)," CURLOPT_MIMEPOST "(3)"
