DESCRIPTION

The s5curl_global_init() function sets up the program environment for s5curl. This must be called once before all s5curl orperations are peformed.

Every s5curl_global_init() should be followed by a corresponding s5curl_global_cleanup() function when all s5curl operations are completed.

RETURN VALUE

Upon successful completion, s5curl_global_init() returns a non negative integer (>=0). Otherwise, a negative value is returned that indicates the error.

ERRORS

S5CURL_ERR_CURL Failed to initialise CURL global resrouces.

EXAMPLES

#include <slow5curl/s5curl.h>

int main () {

    int ret = s5curl_global_init();
    if (ret < 0) {
        fprintf(stderr, "Error initialising global resources\n");
        exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
    }

    // s5curl operations

    s5curl_global_cleanup();
}
