+.SH NAME
+curl_free - reclaim memory that has been obtained through a libcurl call
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B #include <gnurl/curl.h>
+.sp
+.BI "void curl_free( char *" ptr " );"
+.ad
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+curl_free reclaims memory that has been obtained through a libcurl call. Use
+\fIcurl_free(3)\fP instead of free() to avoid anomalies that can result from
+differences in memory management between your application and libcurl.
+
+Passing in a NULL pointer in \fIptr\fP will make this function return
+immediately with no action.
