curl_multi_setopt - set options for a curl multi handle
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLMcode curl_multi_setopt(CURLM * multi_handle, CURLMoption option, param);
curl_multi_setopt() is used to tell a libcurl multi handle how to behave. By using the appropriate options to curl_multi_setopt, 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.
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.
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.
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.
This function was added in libcurl 7.15.4.
