- .SH NAME
- curl_multi_socket - reads/writes available data
- .SH SYNOPSIS
- .nf
- #include <curl/curl.h>
- CURLMcode curl_multi_socket_action(CURLM * multi_handle,
- curl_socket_t sockfd, int ev_bitmask,
- int *running_handles);
- .fi
- .B "Now deprecated versions:"
- .nf
- 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
- Alternative versions of fIcurl_multi_perform(3)fP that allows the
- application to pass in the file descriptor/socket that has been detected to
- have &"action" on it and let libcurl perform. This lets libcurl avoid having
- to scan through all possible file descriptors to check for action.
- When the application has detected action on a socket handled by libcurl, it
- should call fIcurl_multi_socket_action(3)fP with the fBsockfdfP argument
- set to the socket with the action. When the events on a socket are known, they
- can be passed as an events bitmask fBev_bitmaskfP by first setting
- fBev_bitmaskfP to 0, and then adding using bitwise OR (|) any combination of
- events to be chosen from CURL_CSELECT_IN, CURL_CSELECT_OUT or
- CURL_CSELECT_ERR. When the events on a socket are unknown, pass 0 instead, and
- libcurl will test the descriptor internally.
- At return, the integer fBrunning_handlesfP points to will contain 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 fBcurl_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 CURLMOPT_SOCKETFUNCTION
- 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_TIMERFUNCTIONfP option with
- fIcurl_multi_setopt(3)fP. Your application will then get called with
- information on how long to wait for socket actions at most before doing the
- timeout action: call the fBcurl_multi_socket_action(3)fP function with the
- fBsockfdfP 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_bitmaskfP set to
- 0.
- Force libcurl to (re-)check all its internal sockets and transfers instead of
- just a single one by calling fBcurl_multi_socket_all(3)fP. Note that there
- should not be any reason to use this function!
- .SH "CALLBACK DETAILS"
- The socket fBcallbackfP function uses a prototype like this
- .nf
- int curl_socket_callback(CURL *easy, /* easy handle */
- curl_socket_t s, /* socket */
- int action, /* see values below */
- void *userp, /* private callback pointer */
- void *socketp); /* private socket pointer */
- .fi
- The callback MUST return 0.
- The fIeasyfP argument is a pointer to the easy handle that deals with this
- particular socket. Note that a single handle may work with several sockets
- simultaneously.
- The fIsfP argument is the actual socket value as you use it within your
- system.
- The fIactionfP argument to the callback has one of five values:
- .RS
- .IP "CURL_POLL_NONE (0)"
- register, not interested in readiness (yet)
- .IP "CURL_POLL_IN (1)"
- register, interested in read readiness
- .IP "CURL_POLL_OUT (2)"
- register, interested in write readiness
- .IP "CURL_POLL_INOUT (3)"
- register, interested in both read and write readiness
- .IP "CURL_POLL_REMOVE (4)"
- unregister
- .RE
- The fIsocketpfP argument is a private pointer you have previously set with
- fIcurl_multi_assign(3)fP to be associated with the fIsfP socket. If no
- pointer has been set, socketp will be NULL. This argument is of course a
- service to applications that want to keep certain data or structs that are
- strictly associated to the given socket.
- The fIuserpfP argument is a private pointer you have previously set with
- fIcurl_multi_setopt(3)fP and the CURLMOPT_SOCKETDATA option.
- .SH "RETURN VALUE"
- CURLMcode type, general libcurl multi interface error code.
- Legacy: If you receive fICURLM_CALL_MULTI_PERFORMfP, this basically means
- that you should call fIcurl_multi_socket(3)fP again, before you wait for
- more actions on libcurl's sockets. You don't have to do it immediately, but
- the return code means that libcurl may have more data available to return or
- that there may be more data to send off before it is "satisfied".
- In modern libcurls, fICURLM_CALL_MULTI_PERFORMfP or
- fICURLM_CALL_MULTI_SOKCETfP should not be returned and no application needs
- to care about them.
- NOTE that 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.
- .SH "TYPICAL USAGE"
- 1. Create a multi handle
- 2. Set the socket callback with CURLMOPT_SOCKETFUNCTION
- 3. Set the timeout callback with CURLMOPT_TIMERFUNCTION, to get to know what
- timeout value to use when waiting for socket activities.
- 4. Add easy handles with curl_multi_add_handle()
- 5. Provide some means to manage the sockets libcurl is using, so you can check
- them for activity. This can be done through your application code, or by way
- of an external library such as libevent or glib.
- 6. Wait for activity on any of libcurl's sockets, use the timeout value your
- callback has been told
- 7, When activity is detected, call curl_multi_socket_action() for the
- socket(s) that got action. If no activity is detected and the timeout expires,
- call fIcurl_multi_socket_action(3)fP with fICURL_SOCKET_TIMEOUTfP
- 8. Go back to step 6.
- .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!
