From within the timer callbacks. Recursive is problematic for several reasons. They should still work, but this way the examples and the documentation becomes simpler. I don't think we need to encourage recursive calls. Discussed in #3537 Closes #3601

.TH CURLMOPT_TIMERFUNCTION 3 "17 Jun 2014" "libcurl 7.37.0" "curl_multi_setopt options"
|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
CURLMOPT_TIMERFUNCTION \- set callback to receive timeout values
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.nf
|
|
#include <curl/curl.h>
|
|
|
|
int timer_callback(CURLM *multi, /* multi handle */
|
|
long timeout_ms, /* timeout in number of ms */
|
|
void *userp); /* private callback pointer */
|
|
|
|
CURLMcode curl_multi_setopt(CURLM *handle, CURLMOPT_TIMERFUNCTION, timer_callback);
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
Pass a pointer to your callback function, which should match the prototype
|
|
shown above.
|
|
|
|
Certain features, such as timeouts and retries, require you to call libcurl
|
|
even when there is no activity on the file descriptors.
|
|
|
|
Your callback function \fBtimer_callback\fP should install a non-repeating
|
|
timer with an interval of \fBtimeout_ms\fP. When time that timer fires, call
|
|
either \fIcurl_multi_socket_action(3)\fP or \fIcurl_multi_perform(3)\fP,
|
|
depending on which interface you use.
|
|
|
|
A \fBtimeout_ms\fP value of -1 passed to this callback means you should delete
|
|
the timer. All other values are valid expire times in number of milliseconds.
|
|
|
|
The \fBtimer_callback\fP will only be called when the timeout expire time is
|
|
changed.
|
|
|
|
The \fBuserp\fP pointer is set with \fICURLMOPT_TIMERDATA(3)\fP.
|
|
|
|
The timer callback should return 0 on success, and -1 on error. This callback
|
|
can be used instead of, or in addition to, \fIcurl_multi_timeout(3)\fP.
