curl_multi_setopt(3)		libcurl Manual		  curl_multi_setopt(3)

NAME
       curl_multi_setopt - set options for a curl multi handle

SYNOPSIS
       #include <curl/curl.h>

       CURLMcode  curl_multi_setopt(CURLM  * multi_handle, CURLMoption option,
       param);

DESCRIPTION
       curl_multi_setopt() is used to tell  a  libcurl	multi  handle  how  to
       behave.	By  using the appropriate options to curl_multi_setopt(3), you
       can change libcurl's behaviour  when  using  that  multi	 handle.   All
       options	are  set with the option followed by the parameter param. That
       parameter can be a long, a function pointer, an	object	pointer	 or  a
       curl_off_t  type,  depending  on what the specific option expects. Read
       this manual carefully as bad input values may cause libcurl  to	behave
       badly!  You can only set one option in each function call.

OPTIONS
       CURLMOPT_SOCKETFUNCTION
	      Pass  a  pointer to a function matching the curl_socket_callback
	      prototype. The curl_multi_socket_action(3) function informs  the
	      application about updates in the socket (file descriptor) status
	      by doing none, one, or multiple calls to	the  curl_socket_call‐
	      back  given  in  the param argument. They update the status with
	      changes since the previous time a curl_multi_socket(3)  function
	      was  called.  If the given callback pointer is NULL, no callback
	      will be called. Set the callback's  userp	 argument  with	 CURL‐
	      MOPT_SOCKETDATA.	 See  curl_multi_socket(3)  for	 more callback
	      details.

       CURLMOPT_SOCKETDATA
	      Pass  a  pointer	to   whatever	you   want   passed   to   the
	      curl_socket_callback's  forth  argument, the userp pointer. This
	      is not used by libcurl but only passed-thru as-is. Set the call‐
	      back pointer with CURLMOPT_SOCKETFUNCTION.

       CURLMOPT_PIPELINING
	      Pass  a  long set to 1 to enable or 0 to disable. Enabling pipe‐
	      lining on a multi handle will make it attempt  to	 perform  HTTP
	      Pipelining  as  far as possible for transfers using this handle.
	      This means that if you add a second  request  that  can  use  an
	      already  existing connection, the second request will be "piped"
	      on the same connection rather than being executed	 in  parallel.
	      (Added in 7.16.0)

       CURLMOPT_TIMERFUNCTION
	      Pass a pointer to a function matching the curl_multi_timer_call‐
	      back prototype.  This function will  then	 be  called  when  the
	      timeout  value changes. The timeout value is at what latest time
	      the application should call one of the "performing" functions of
	      the    multi    interface	   (curl_multi_socket_action(3)	   and
	      curl_multi_perform(3)) - to allow libcurl to keep	 timeouts  and
	      retries  etc  to work. A timeout value of -1 means that there is
	      no timeout at all, and 0	means  that  the  timeout  is  already
	      reached.	Libcurl	 attempts  to limit calling this only when the
	      fixed future timeout  time  actually  changes.  See  also	 CURL‐
	      MOPT_TIMERDATA.  This  callback  can  be	used instead of, or in
	      addition to, curl_multi_timeout(3). (Added in 7.16.0)

       CURLMOPT_TIMERDATA
	      Pass  a  pointer	to   whatever	you   want   passed   to   the
	      curl_multi_timer_callback's  third  argument, the userp pointer.
	      This is not used by libcurl but only passed-thru as-is. Set  the
	      callback pointer with CURLMOPT_TIMERFUNCTION. (Added in 7.16.0)

       CURLMOPT_MAXCONNECTS
	      Pass  a  long. The set number will be used as the maximum amount
	      of simultaneously	 open  connections  that  libcurl  may	cache.
	      Default  is 10, and libcurl will enlarge the size for each added
	      easy handle to make it fit 4 times the number of added easy han‐
	      dles.

	      By  setting  this	 option,  you  can prevent the cache size from
	      growing beyond the limit set by you.

	      When the cache is full, curl closes the oldest one in the	 cache
	      to prevent the number of open connections from increasing.

	      This  option  is for the multi handle's use only, when using the
	      easy interface you should instead	 use  the  CURLOPT_MAXCONNECTS
	      option.

	      (Added in 7.16.3)

RETURNS
       The  standard  CURLMcode	 for multi interface error codes. Note that it
       returns a CURLM_UNKNOWN_OPTION if you try setting an option  that  this
       version of libcurl doesn't know of.

AVAILABILITY
       This function was added in libcurl 7.15.4.
