NAME
       curl_easy_duphandle - Clone a libcurl session handle

SYNOPSIS
       #include <curl/curl.h>

       CURL *curl_easy_duphandle(CURL *handle);


DESCRIPTION
       This  function  will  return a new curl handle, a duplicate, using all
       the options previously set in the input curl handle. Both handles  can
       subsequently  be	 used  independently and they must both be freed with
       curl_easy_cleanup(3).

       All strings that the input handle  has  been  told  to  point  to  (as
       opposed to copy) with previous calls to curl_easy_setopt(3) using char
       * inputs, will be pointed to by the  new	 handle	 as  well.  You	 must
       therefore  make	sure  to keep the data around until both handles have
       been cleaned up.

       The new handle will not inherit any state information, no connections,
       no SSL sessions and no cookies.

       Note  that  even	 in  multi-threaded  programs,	this function must be
       called in a synchronous way, the input handle may not be in  use	 when
       cloned.

RETURN VALUE
       If  this function returns NULL, something went wrong and no valid han-
       dle was returned.
