curl_multi_setopt - set options for a curl multi handle  



SYNOPSIS   Début   Précédent   Suivant   Sommaire   Préc.page.lue   Accueil
#include <curl/curl.h>

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




DESCRIPTION   Début   Précédent   Suivant   Sommaire   Préc.page.lue   Accueil
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.

CURLMOPT_SOCKETFUNCTION
Pass a pointer to a function matching the curl_socket_callback prototype. The curl_multi_socket(3) functions inform the application about updates in the socket (file descriptor) status by doing none, one or multiple calls to the curl_socket_callback 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 CURLMOPT_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 callback pointer with CURLMOPT_SOCKETFUNCTION.
CURLMOPT_PIPELINING
Pass a long set to 1 to enable or 0 to disable. Enabling pipelining 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 parallell. (Added in 7.16.0)
CURLMOPT_TIMERFUNCTION
Pass a pointer to a function matching the curl_multi_timer_callback 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(3), curl_multi_socket_all(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 change. See also CURLMOPT_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 handles.

By setting this option, you can prevent the cache size to grow 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 to increase.

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   Début   Précédent   Suivant   Sommaire   Préc.page.lue   Accueil
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.
