NAME

       curl_multi_remove_handle - remove an easy handle from a multi session

SYNOPSIS

       #include <curl/curl.h>

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

DESCRIPTION

       Removes a given easy_handle from the multi_handle. This makes the specified easy handle be
       removed from this multi handle's control.

       When the easy handle has been removed from a multi stack, it is again perfectly  legal  to
       invoke curl_easy_perform(3) on this easy handle.

       Removing  an  easy  handle while being in use is perfectly legal and effectively halts the
       transfer in progress involving that easy handle. All  other  easy  handles  and  transfers
       remain unaffected.

       It  is  fine  to  remove  a handle at any time during a transfer, just not from within any
       libcurl callback function.

       Removing an easy handle from  the  multi  handle  before  the  corresponding  transfer  is
       complete might cause libcurl to close the connection - if the state of it and the internal
       protocol handler deem it necessary. Otherwise libcurl keeps the connection  alive  in  the
       connection  pool  associated  with  the  multi  handle,  ready  to get reused for a future
       transfer using this multi handle.

PROTOCOLS

       This functionality affects all supported protocols

EXAMPLE

       int main(void)
       {
         CURLM *multi = curl_multi_init();
         int queued = 0;

         /* when an easy handle has completed, remove it */
         CURLMsg *msg = curl_multi_info_read(multi, &queued);
         if(msg) {
           if(msg->msg == CURLMSG_DONE) {
             /* a transfer ended */
             fprintf(stderr, "Transfer completed\n");
             curl_multi_remove_handle(multi, msg->easy_handle);
           }
         }
       }

AVAILABILITY

       Added in curl 7.9.6

RETURN VALUE

       CURLMcode type, general libcurl multi interface error code.
