@ -22,6 +22,10 @@ of milliseconds at this very moment. If 0, it means you should proceed
immediately without waiting for anything. If it returns -1, there's no timeout
at all set.
An application that uses the multi_socket API SHOULD not use this function, but
SHOULD instead use \fIcurl_multi_setopt(3)\fP and its
\fPCURLMOPT_TIMERFUNCTION\fP option for proper and desired behavior.
Note: if libcurl returns a -1 timeout here, it just means that libcurl
currently has no stored timeout value. You must not wait too long (more than a
few seconds perhaps) before you call curl_multi_perform() again.
