CURL wrapping functions reference.

int curl_wrap_perform (CURL * curl, char **result, size_t * size)

Perform the CURL operation for ‘curl’ and put the result in memory. If ‘result’ isn’t NULL it receives the returned content that then must be freed. If ‘size’ isn’t NULL, it receives the size of the returned content. Note that if not NULL, the real content is one byte greater than the read size and the last byte zero. This facility allows to handle the returned content as a null terminated C-string.

void curl_wrap_do(CURL curl, void (callback)(void *closure, int status, CURL *curl, const char *result, size_t size), void *closure)

Will perform the CURL operation and on success invokes the callback with the result and size of the operation or error on a failure.
