.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
|
This function extracts file descriptor information from a given multi_handle.
|
2004-04-13 16:31:49 +02:00
|
|
|
libcurl returns its fd_set sets. The application can use these to select()
|
2005-01-11 21:22:44 +01:00
|
|
|
on. The \fIcurl_multi_perform(3)\fP function should be called as soon as one
|
2004-04-14 14:13:21 +02:00
|
|
|
of them are ready to be read from or written to.

2004-04-15 17:05:12 +02:00
|
|
|
You should also be aware that when doing select(), you should consider using a
|
|
|
|
|
rather small (single-digit number of seconds) timeout and call
|
|
|
|
|
\fIcurl_multi_perform\fP regularly - even if no activity has been seen on the
|
|
|
|
|
fd_sets - as otherwise libcurl-internal retries and timeouts may not work as
|
|
|
|
|
you'd think.
