SYNOPSIS
       #include <curl/curl.h>
       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 func-
       tion, 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 application to sev-
       erly screw things up for libcurl. Take care!
