Module Curl.Multi

module Multi: sig .. end
Curl multi stack. Functions may raise Failure on critical errors
type mt
type of Curl multi stack
exception Error of string
exception raised on internal errors
val create : unit -> mt
create new multi stack
val add : mt -> Curl.t -> unit
add handle to multi stack
val perform : mt -> int
perform pending data transfers (if any) on all handles currently in multi stack
Returns the number of handles that still transfer data
val wait : mt -> bool
wait till there are some active data transfers on multi stack
Returns whether perform should be called
val remove_finished : mt -> (Curl.t * Curl.curlCode) option
remove finished handle from the multi stack if any. The returned handle may be reused
val cleanup : mt -> unit
destroy multi handle (all transfers are stopped, but individual Curl.t handles can be reused)
type poll =
| POLL_NONE (*none*)
| POLL_IN (*available for reading*)
| POLL_OUT (*available for writing*)
| POLL_INOUT (*both*)
| POLL_REMOVE (*socket not needed anymore*)
events that should be reported for the socket
type fd_status =
| EV_AUTO (*determine socket status automatically (with extra system call)*)
| EV_IN (*socket has incoming data*)
| EV_OUT (*socket is available for writing*)
| EV_INOUT (*both*)
socket status
val set_socket_function : mt -> (Unix.file_descr -> poll -> unit) -> unit
set the function to receive notifications on what socket events are currently interesting for libcurl on the specified socket handle
val set_timer_function : mt -> (int -> unit) -> unit
set the function to receive notification when libcurl internal timeout changes, timeout value is in milliseconds

NB Curl.Multi.action_timeout should be called when timeout occurs

val action_all : mt -> int
perform pending data transfers (if any) on all handles currently in multi stack (not recommended, Curl.Multi.action should be used instead)
Raises Error on errors
Returns the number of handles that still transfer data
val action_timeout : mt -> unit
inform libcurl that timeout occured
Raises Error on errors
val action : mt -> Unix.file_descr -> fd_status -> int
action mt fd status informs libcurl about event on the specified socket. status specifies socket status. Perform pending data transfers.
Raises Error on errors
Returns the number of handles still active
val timeout : mt -> int
timeout mt polls multi handle for timeout (not recommended, use Curl.Multi.set_timer_function instead).
Raises Error on errors
Returns maximum allowed number of milliseconds to wait before calling libcurl to perform actions
