.SH NAME
CURLOPT_MAXCONNECTS \- set connection cache size
CURLOPT_MAXCONNECTS \- maximum connection cache size
.SH SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_MAXCONNECTS, long amount);
.SH DESCRIPTION
Pass a long. The set number will be the persistent connection cache size. The
set \fIamount\fP will be the maximum amount of simultaneously open connections
that libcurl may cache in cache associated with this handle. Default is 5, and
there isn't much point in changing this value unless you are perfectly aware
of how this works and changes libcurl's behaviour. This concerns connections
using any of the protocols that support persistent connections.
Pass a long. The set \fIamount\fP will be the maximum number of simultaneously
open persistent connections that libcurl may cache in the pool associated with
this handle. The default is 5, and there isn't much point in changing this
value unless you are perfectly aware of how this works and changes libcurl's
behaviour. This concerns connections using any of the protocols that support
persistent connections.
When reaching the maximum limit, curl closes the oldest one in the cache to
prevent increasing the number of open connections.
