doc: some returned in-memory data may not be altered
Some public prototypes do not declare return values or out parameters as
const where they should be. Avoid changing the public interface, but
document those values as read-only.

# NAME
curl_url - create a URL handle
# SYNOPSIS
~~~c
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLU *curl_url();
~~~
# DESCRIPTION
This function allocates a URL object and returns a *CURLU* handle for it,
to be used as input to all other URL API functions.
This is a handle to a URL object that holds or can hold URL components for a
single URL. When the object is first created, there is of course no components
stored. They are then set in the object with the curl_url_set(3)
function.
The object must be destroyed with a call to curl_url_cleanup(3) when no
longer needed.
# %PROTOCOLS%
# EXAMPLE
~~~c
int main(void)
{
CURLUcode rc;
CURLU *url = curl_url();
rc = curl_url_set(url, CURLUPART_URL, "https://example.com", 0);
if(!rc) {
char *scheme;
rc = curl_url_get(url, CURLUPART_SCHEME, &scheme, 0);
if(!rc) {
printf("the scheme is %s\n", scheme);
curl_free(scheme);
}
curl_url_cleanup(url);
}
}
