.SH NAME
|
|
curl_multi_assign \- set data to association with an internal socket
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
#include <curl/curl.h>
|
|
|
|
CURLMcode curl_multi_assign(CURLM *multi_handle, curl_socket_t sockfd,
|
|
void *sockptr);
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
This function assigns an association in the multi handle between the given
|
|
socket and a private pointer of the application. This is (only) useful for
|
|
\fIcurl_multi_socket(3)\fP uses.
|
|
|
|
When set, the \fIsockptr\fP pointer will be passed to all future socket
|
|
callbacks for the specific \fIsockfd\fP socket.
|
|
|
|
If the given \fIsockfd\fP isn't already in use by libcurl, this function will
|
|
return an error.
|
|
|
|
libcurl only keeps one single pointer associated with a socket, so calling
|
|
this function several times for the same socket will make the last set pointer
|
|
get used.
|
|
|
|
The idea here being that this association (socket to private pointer) is
|
|
something that just about every application that uses this API will need and
|
|
then libcurl can just as well do it since it already has an internal hash
|
|
table lookup for this.
|
|
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
|
|
The standard CURLMcode for multi interface error codes.
|
|
.SH "TYPICAL USAGE"
|
|
In a typical application you allocate a struct or at least use some kind of
|
|
semi-dynamic data for each socket that we must wait for action on when using
|
|
the \fIcurl_multi_socket(3)\fP approach.
|
|
|
|
When our socket-callback gets called by libcurl and we get to know about yet
|
|
another socket to wait for, we can use \fIcurl_multi_assign(3)\fP to point out
|
|
the particular data so that when we get updates about this same socket again,
|
|
we don't have to find the struct associated with this socket by ourselves.
|
|
.SH AVAILABILITY
|
|
This function was added in libcurl 7.15.5, although not deemed stable yet.
