NAME

       CURLMOPT_SOCKETFUNCTION - callback informed about what to wait for

SYNOPSIS

       #include <curl/curl.h>

       int socket_callback(CURL *easy,      /* easy handle */
                           curl_socket_t s, /* socket */
                           int what,        /* see above */
                           void *userp,     /* private callback pointer */
                           void *socketp);  /* private socket pointer */

       CURLMcode curl_multi_setopt(CURLM *handle, CURLMOPT_SOCKETFUNCTION, socket_callback);

DESCRIPTION

       Pass a pointer to your callback function, which should match the prototype shown above.

       When  the  curl_multi_socket_action(3)  function  runs,  it  informs the application about updates in the
       socket (file descriptor) status by doing none,  one,  or  multiple  calls  to  the  socket_callback.  The
       callback  gets status updates with changes since the previous time the callback was called.  If the given
       callback pointer  is  NULL,  no  callback  will  be  called.  Set  the  callback's  userp  argument  with
       CURLMOPT_SOCKETDATA(3).  See curl_multi_socket_action(3) for more details on how the callback is used and
       should work.

DEFAULT

       NULL (no callback)
