.TH curl_multi_socket 3 "9 Jul 2006" "libcurl" "libcurl"
|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
curl_multi_socket \- reads/writes available data
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.nf
|
|
#include <curl/curl.h>
|
|
CURLMcode curl_multi_socket(CURLM *multi_handle, curl_socket_t sockfd,
|
|
int *running_handles);
|
|
|
|
CURLMcode curl_multi_socket_all(CURLM *multi_handle,
|
|
int *running_handles);
|
|
.fi
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
These functions are deprecated. Do not use. See
|
|
\fIcurl_multi_socket_action(3)\fP instead.
|
|
|
|
At return, the integer \fBrunning_handles\fP points to contains the number of
|
|
still running easy handles within the multi handle. When this number reaches
|
|
zero, all transfers are complete/done. Note that when you call
|
|
\fIcurl_multi_socket_action(3)\fP on a specific socket and the counter
|
|
decreases by one, it DOES NOT necessarily mean that this exact socket/transfer
|
|
is the one that completed. Use \fIcurl_multi_info_read(3)\fP to figure out
|
|
which easy handle that completed.
|
|
|
|
The \fIcurl_multi_socket_action(3)\fP functions inform the application about
|
|
updates in the socket (file descriptor) status by doing none, one, or multiple
|
|
calls to the socket callback function set with the
|
|
\fICURLMOPT_SOCKETFUNCTION(3)\fP option to \fIcurl_multi_setopt(3)\fP. They
|
|
update the status with changes since the previous time the callback was
|
|
called.
|
|
|
|
Get the timeout time by setting the \fICURLMOPT_TIMERFUNCTION(3)\fP option
|
|
with \fIcurl_multi_setopt(3)\fP. Your application then gets called with
|
|
information on how long to wait for socket actions at most before doing the
|
|
timeout action: call the \fIcurl_multi_socket_action(3)\fP function with the
|
|
\fBsockfd\fP argument set to CURL_SOCKET_TIMEOUT. You can also use the
|
|
\fIcurl_multi_timeout(3)\fP function to poll the value at any given time, but
|
|
for an event-based system using the callback is far better than relying on
|
|
polling the timeout value.
|
|
|
|
Usage of \fIcurl_multi_socket(3)\fP is deprecated, whereas the function is
|
|
equivalent to \fIcurl_multi_socket_action(3)\fP with \fBev_bitmask\fP set to
|
|
0.
|
|
|
|
Force libcurl to (re-)check all its internal sockets and transfers instead of
|
|
just a single one by calling \fIcurl_multi_socket_all(3)\fP. Note that there
|
|
should not be any reason to use this function.
|
|
.SH EXAMPLE
|
|
.nf
|
|
int main(void)
|
|
{
|
|
/* the event-library gets told when there activity on the socket 'fd',
|
|
which we translate to a call to curl_multi_socket_action() */
|
|
int running;
|
|
int rc;
|
|
int fd;
|
|
CURLM *multi;
|
|
rc = curl_multi_socket(multi, fd, &running);
|
|
}
|
|
.fi
|
|
.SH AVAILABILITY
|
|
This function was added in libcurl 7.15.4, and is deemed stable since
|
|
7.16.0.
|
|
|
|
\fIcurl_multi_socket(3)\fP is deprecated, use
|
|
\fIcurl_multi_socket_action(3)\fP instead!
|
|
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
|
|
CURLMcode type, general libcurl multi interface error code.
|
|
|
|
The return code is for the whole multi stack. Problems still might have
|
|
occurred on individual transfers even when one of these functions return OK.
