.TH CURLMOPT_TIMERFUNCTION 3 "17 Jun 2014" libcurl libcurl
|
||
|
|
.SH NAME
|
||
|
|
CURLMOPT_TIMERFUNCTION \- callback to receive timeout values
|
||
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
||
|
|
.nf
|
||
|
|
#include <curl/curl.h>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
int timer_callback(CURLM *multi, /* multi handle */
|
||
|
|
long timeout_ms, /* timeout in number of ms */
|
||
|
|
void *clientp); /* private callback pointer */
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
CURLMcode curl_multi_setopt(CURLM *handle, CURLMOPT_TIMERFUNCTION, timer_callback);
|
||
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
Pass a pointer to your callback function, which should match the prototype
|
||
|
|
shown above.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Certain features, such as timeouts and retries, require you to call libcurl
|
||
|
|
even when there is no activity on the file descriptors.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Your callback function \fBtimer_callback\fP should install a non-repeating
|
||
|
|
timer with an expire time of \fBtimeout_ms\fP milliseconds. When that timer
|
||
|
|
fires, call either \fIcurl_multi_socket_action(3)\fP or
|
||
|
|
\fIcurl_multi_perform(3)\fP, depending on which interface you use.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A \fBtimeout_ms\fP value of -1 passed to this callback means you should delete
|
||
|
|
the timer. All other values are valid expire times in number of milliseconds.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The \fBtimer_callback\fP is called when the timeout expire time is changed.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The \fBclientp\fP pointer is set with \fICURLMOPT_TIMERDATA(3)\fP.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The timer callback should return 0 on success, and -1 on error. If this
|
||
|
|
callback returns error, \fBall\fP transfers currently in progress in this
|
||
|
|
multi handle are aborted and made to fail.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This callback can be used instead of, or in addition to,
|
||
|
|
\fIcurl_multi_timeout(3)\fP.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
\fBWARNING:\fP do not call libcurl directly from within the callback itself
|
||
|
|
when the \fBtimeout_ms\fP value is zero, since it risks triggering an
|
||
|
|
unpleasant recursive behavior that immediately calls another call to the
|
||
|
|
callback with a zero timeout...
