.SH SYNOPSIS
@ -22,6 +22,12 @@ of them are ready to be read from or written to.
NOTE that once this call is made, you must not remove the sets you point to,
as libcurl will need to be able to read them. It needs them after select()
calls, to know if certain sockets are readable or writable.
You should also be aware that when doing select(), you should consider using a
rather small (single-digit number of seconds) timeout and call
\fIcurl_multi_perform\fP regularly - even if no activity has been seen on the
fd_sets - as otherwise libcurl-internal retries and timeouts may not work as
you'd think.
.SH RETURN VALUE
CURLMcode type, general libcurl multi interface error code. See
\fIlibcurl-errors(3)\fP
