# NAME
curl_free - reclaim memory that has been obtained through a libcurl call
# SYNOPSIS
~~~c
#include <curl/curl.h>
void curl_free(void *ptr);
~~~
# DESCRIPTION
curl_free reclaims memory that has been obtained through a libcurl call. Use
curl_free(3) instead of free() to avoid anomalies that can result from
differences in memory management between your application and libcurl.
Passing in a NULL pointer in *ptr* makes this function return immediately
with no action.
