It does not free or touch any individual easy handles in any way - they still need to be closed individually, using the usual \fIcurl_easy_cleanup(3)\fP way. The order of cleaning up should be: 1 - \fIcurl_multi_remove_handle(3)\fP before any easy handles are cleaned up 2 - \fIcurl_easy_cleanup(3)\fP can now be called independently since the easy handle is no longer connected to the multi handle 3 - \fIcurl_multi_cleanup(3)\fP should be called when all easy handles are removed Passing in a NULL pointer in \fImulti_handle\fP will make this function return CURLM_BAD_HANDLE immediately with no other action. .SH RETURN VALUE CURLMcode type, general libcurl multi interface error code. On success, CURLM_OK is returned. .SH "SEE ALSO" .BR curl_multi_init "(3)," curl_easy_cleanup "(3)," curl_easy_init "(3)"
