.TH CURLOPT_DNS_USE_GLOBAL_CACHE 3 "January 02, 2023" "libcurl 7.88.1" "curl_easy_setopt options"

.SH NAME
CURLOPT_DNS_USE_GLOBAL_CACHE \- global DNS cache
.SH SYNOPSIS
.nf
#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_DNS_USE_GLOBAL_CACHE,
                          long enable);
.fi
.SH DESCRIPTION
Has no function since 7.62.0. Do not use!

Pass a long. If the \fIenable\fP value is 1, it tells curl to use a global DNS
cache that will survive between easy handle creations and deletions. This is
not thread-safe and this will use a global variable.

\fBWARNING:\fP this option is considered obsolete. Stop using it. Switch over
to using the share interface instead! See \fICURLOPT_SHARE(3)\fP and
\fIcurl_share_init(3)\fP.
.SH DEFAULT
0

  curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_DNS_USE_GLOBAL_CACHE, 0L);

  curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
