CURLSHOPT_SHARE(3) Library Functions Manual CURLSHOPT_SHARE(3) NAME CURLSHOPT_SHARE - add data to share SYNOPSIS #include <curl/curl.h> CURLSHcode curl_share_setopt(CURLSH *share, CURLSHOPT_SHARE, int type); DESCRIPTION The type parameter specifies what specific data that should be shared and kept in the share object that was created with curl_share_init(3). The given type must be one of the values described below. You can set CURL- SHOPT_SHARE(3) multiple times with different data arguments to have the share object share multiple types of data. Unset a type again by setting CURLSHOPT_UNSHARE(3). If any of the data is to be shared in multiple threads then mutex callbacks must be set as well. See CURLSHOPT_LOCKFUNC(3) and CURLSHOPT_UNLOCKFUNC(3). CURL_LOCK_DATA_COOKIE Cookie data is shared across the easy handles using this shared ob- ject. Note that this does not activate an easy handle's cookie han- dling. You can do that separately by using CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE(3) for example. It is not supported to share cookies between multiple concurrent threads. CURL_LOCK_DATA_DNS Cached DNS hosts are shared across the easy handles using this shared object. Note that when you use the multi interface, all easy handles added to the same multi handle share the DNS cache by de- fault without using this option. CURL_LOCK_DATA_SSL_SESSION SSL sessions are shared across the easy handles using this shared object. This reduces the time spent in the SSL handshake when recon- necting to the same server. Note that when you use the multi interface, all easy handles added to the same multi handle share the SSL session cache by default without using this option. CURL_LOCK_DATA_CONNECT Put the connection cache in the share object and make all easy han- dles using this share object share the connection cache. It is not supported to share connections between multiple concurrent threads. Connections that are used for HTTP/2 or HTTP/3 multiplexing only get additional transfers added to them if the existing connection is held by the same multi or easy handle. libcurl does not support do- ing multiplexed streams in different threads using a shared connec- tion. Note that when you use the multi interface, all easy handles added to the same multi handle share the connection cache by default with- out using this option. CURL_LOCK_DATA_PSL The Public Suffix List stored in the share object is made available to all easy handle bound to the later. Since the Public Suffix List is periodically refreshed, this avoids updates in too many different contexts. Added in 7.61.0. Note that when you use the multi interface, all easy handles added to the same multi handle share the PSL cache by default without us- ing this option. CURL_LOCK_DATA_HSTS The in-memory HSTS cache. It is not supported to share the HSTS between multiple concurrent threads. Added in 7.88.0 PROTOCOLS This functionality affects all supported protocols EXAMPLE int main(void) { CURLSHcode sh; CURLSH *share = curl_share_init(); sh = curl_share_setopt(share, CURLSHOPT_SHARE, CURL_LOCK_DATA_COOKIE); if(sh) printf("Error: %s\n", curl_share_strerror(sh)); } AVAILABILITY Added in curl 7.10.3 RETURN VALUE CURLSHE_OK (zero) means that the option was set properly, non-zero means an error occurred. See libcurl-errors(3) for the full list with descriptions. SEE ALSO CURLSHOPT_UNSHARE(3), curl_share_cleanup(3), curl_share_init(3), curl_share_setopt(3) libcurl 2026-06-11 CURLSHOPT_SHARE(3)
