                     32: curl_free reclaims memory that has been obtained through a libcurl call.  Use
                     33: \fIcurl_free(3)\fP instead of free() to avoid anomalies that can result from
                     34: differences in memory management between your application and libcurl.
                     35: 
                     36: Passing in a NULL pointer in \fIptr\fP will make this function return
                     37: immediately with no action.
