Do not use! See \fIcurl_mime_init(3)\fP instead! curl_formfree() is used to clean up data previously built/appended with \fIcurl_formadd(3)\fP. This must be called when the data has been used, which typically means after \fIcurl_easy_perform(3)\fP has been called. The pointer to free is the same pointer you passed to the \fICURLOPT_HTTPPOST(3)\fP option, which is the \fIfirstitem\fP pointer from the \fIcurl_formadd(3)\fP invoke(s). \fBform\fP is the pointer as returned from a previous call to \fIcurl_formadd(3)\fP and may be NULL. Passing in a NULL pointer in \fIform\fP will make this function return immediately with no action. .SH AVAILABILITY Deprecated in 7.56.0. .SH RETURN VALUE None .SH "SEE ALSO" .BR curl_formadd "(3), " curl_mime_init "(3), " curl_mime_free "(3)"
