.SH NAME
curl_mime_free - free a previously built mime structure
.SH SYNOPSIS
.nf
#include <curl/curl.h>
void curl_mime_free(curl_mime *mime);
.fi
.SH DESCRIPTION
\fIcurl_mime_free(3)\fP is used to clean up data previously built/appended
with \fIcurl_mime_addpart(3)\fP and other mime-handling functions. This must
be called when the data has been used, which typically means after
\fIcurl_easy_perform(3)\fP has been called.
The handle to free is the one you passed to the \fICURLOPT_MIMEPOST(3)\fP
option: attached sub part mime structures must not be explicitly freed as they
are by the top structure freeing.
\fBmime\fP is the handle as returned from a previous call to
\fIcurl_mime_init(3)\fP and may be NULL.
Passing in a NULL pointer in \fImime\fP will make this function return
immediately with no action.
.SH EXAMPLE
.nf
/* Build the mime message. */
mime = curl_mime_init(curl);
/* ... */
/* Free multipart message. */
curl_mime_free(mime);
.fi
.SH AVAILABILITY
