Where is the sourcecode for curl_easy_perform() in libcurl?

I cannot find the source code for this important function in the libcurl source tree. Nor do I find a definition of this function in curl.h. Neither a search of the linux kernel github source nor several google searches yields anything.

curl_easy_perform() has to be defined and implemented somewhere, or at least defined by way of some macro(?), but, while numerous examples are given of this function being called, I have found nothing of its implementation. Any ideas?

It's in easy.c

/*
 * curl_easy_perform() is the external interface that performs a blocking
 * transfer as previously setup.
 */
CURLcode curl_easy_perform(CURL *easy)
{
  return easy_perform(easy, FALSE);
}

I found this by going to the cURL github repository and putting CURLcode curl_easy_perform into the search field (just searching for curl_easy_perform has too many hits because it finds all the testing and documentation code that refers to the function, not just the definitions).

easy_perform(), which does all the real work, is defined right before it.
