NAME

       curl_multi_add_handle - add an easy handle to a multi session

SYNOPSIS

       #include <curl/curl.h>

       CURLMcode curl_multi_add_handle(CURLM *multi_handle, CURL *easy_handle);

DESCRIPTION

       Adds  a  standard  easy  handle  to  the  multi  stack.  This function call will make this
       multi_handle control the specified easy_handle.

       While an easy handle is added  to  a  multi  stack,  you  cannot  and  you  must  not  use
       curl_easy_perform(3)  on  that handle. After having removed the easy handle from the multi
       stack again, it is perfectly fine to use it with the easy interface again.

       If the easy handle is not set to use a  shared  (CURLOPT_SHARE(3))  or  global  DNS  cache
       (CURLOPT_DNS_USE_GLOBAL_CACHE(3)),  it  will  be  made to use the DNS cache that is shared
       between all easy handles within the multi handle when curl_multi_add_handle(3) is called.

       When an easy interface is added to a multi handle, it will use a shared  connection  cache
       owned  by  the multi handle. Removing and adding new easy handles will not affect the pool
       of connections or the ability to do connection re-use.

       If you have CURLMOPT_TIMERFUNCTION set in the multi  handle  (and  you  really  should  if
       you're  working  event-based  with curl_multi_socket_action(3) and friends), that callback
       will be called from within this function to ask for an updated timer  so  that  your  main
       event loop will get the activity on this handle to get started.

       The  easy  handle  will  remain  added  to the multi handle until you remove it again with
       curl_multi_remove_handle(3) - even when a transfer  with  that  specific  easy  handle  is
       completed.

       You should remove the easy handle from the multi stack before you terminate first the easy
       handle and then the multi handle:

       1 - curl_multi_remove_handle(3)

       2 - curl_easy_cleanup(3)

       3 - curl_multi_cleanup(3)

RETURN VALUE

       CURLMcode type, general libcurl multi interface error code.
