+# NAME
+
+curl_multi_init - create a multi handle
+
+# SYNOPSIS
+
+~~~c
+#include <curl/curl.h>
+
+CURLM *curl_multi_init();
+~~~
+
+# DESCRIPTION
+
+This function returns a pointer to a *CURLM* handle to be used as input to
+all the other multi-functions, sometimes referred to as a multi handle in some
+places in the documentation. This init call MUST have a corresponding call to
+curl_multi_cleanup(3) when the operation is complete.
+
+# EXAMPLE
+
+~~~c
+int main(void)
+{
+  /* init a multi stack */
+  CURLM *multi = curl_multi_init();
+  CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
+  CURL *curl2 = curl_easy_init();
+
+  /* add individual transfers */
+  curl_multi_add_handle(multi, curl);
+  curl_multi_add_handle(multi, curl2);
+}
+~~~
+
+# AVAILABILITY
+
+Added in 7.9.6
+
+# RETURN VALUE
+
+If this function returns NULL, something went wrong and you cannot use the
+other curl functions.
