into a counter, and thus you can now do multiple curl_global_init() and you
are then supposed to do the same amount of calls to curl_global_cleanup().

If you did not already call \fIcurl_global_init(3)\fP, it will be done

.SH RETURN VALUE
If this function returns NULL, something went wrong and you cannot use the
other curl functions.
