# NAME
curl_easy_duphandle - Clone a libcurl session handle
# SYNOPSIS
~~~c
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURL *curl_easy_duphandle(CURL *handle);
~~~
# DESCRIPTION
This function returns 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).
Any options that the input handle has been told to point to (as opposed to
copy) with previous calls to curl_easy_setopt(3), are 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 does **not** inherit any state information, no connections, no
SSL sessions and no cookies. It also does not inherit any share object states
or options (created as if CURLOPT_SHARE(3) was set to NULL).
If the source handle has HSTS or alt-svc enabled, the duplicate gets data read
data from the main filename to populate the cache.
In multi-threaded programs, this function must be called in a synchronous way,
the input handle may not be in use when cloned.
# EXAMPLE
~~~c
int main(void)
{
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
CURLcode res;
CURL *nother;
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com");
nother = curl_easy_duphandle(curl);
res = curl_easy_perform(nother);
curl_easy_cleanup(nother);
curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
}
}

# AVAILABILITY
Added in 7.9
# RETURN VALUE
If this function returns NULL, something went wrong and no valid handle was
returned.
