.TH CURLMOPT_SOCKETFUNCTION 3 "2024-06-01" libcurl
.SH NAME
CURLMOPT_SOCKETFUNCTION \- callback informed about what to wait for
.SH SYNOPSIS
.nf
#include <curl/curl.h>
int socket_callback(CURL *easy, /* easy handle */
curl_socket_t s, /* socket */
int what, /* describes the socket */
void *clientp, /* private callback pointer */
void *socketp); /* private socket pointer */
CURLMcode curl_multi_setopt(CURLM *handle, CURLMOPT_SOCKETFUNCTION, socket_callback);
.fi
.SH DESCRIPTION
Pass a pointer to your callback function, which should match the prototype
shown above.
When the \fIcurl_multi_socket_action(3)\fP function is called, it uses this
callback to inform the application about updates in the socket (file
descriptor) status by doing none, one, or multiple calls to the
\fBsocket_callback\fP. The callback function gets status updates with changes
since the previous time the callback was called. If the given callback pointer
is set to NULL, no callback is called.
libcurl then expects the application to monitor the sockets for the specific
activities and tell libcurl again when something happens on one of them. Tell
libcurl by calling \fIcurl_multi_socket_action(3)\fP.
.SH CALLBACK ARGUMENTS
\fIeasy\fP identifies the specific transfer for which this update is related.
\fIs\fP is the specific socket this function invocation concerns. If the
\fBwhat\fP argument is not CURL_POLL_REMOVE then it holds information about
what activity on this socket the application is supposed to
monitor. Subsequent calls to this callback might update the \fBwhat\fP bits
for a socket that is already monitored.
The socket callback should return 0 on success, and \-1 on error. If this
callback returns error, \fBall\fP transfers currently in progress in this
multi handle are aborted and made to fail.
\fBclientp\fP is set with \fICURLMOPT_SOCKETDATA(3)\fP.
\fBsocketp\fP is set with \fIcurl_multi_assign(3)\fP or NULL.
The \fBwhat\fP parameter informs the callback on the status of the given
socket. It can hold one of these values:
.IP CURL_POLL_IN
Wait for incoming data. For the socket to become readable.
.IP CURL_POLL_OUT
Wait for outgoing data. For the socket to become writable.
.IP CURL_POLL_INOUT
Wait for incoming and outgoing data. For the socket to become readable or
writable.
.IP CURL_POLL_REMOVE
The specified socket/file descriptor is no longer used by libcurl for any
active transfer. It might soon be added again.
.SH DEFAULT
NULL (no callback)

.SH EXAMPLE
.nf
struct priv {
void *ours;
};
static int sock_cb(CURL *e, curl_socket_t s, int what, void *cbp, void *sockp)
{
struct priv *p = sockp;
printf("our ptr: %p\\n", p->ours);
if(what == CURL_POLL_REMOVE) {
/* remove the socket from our collection */
}
if(what & CURL_POLL_IN) {
/* wait for read on this socket */
}
if(what & CURL_POLL_OUT) {
/* wait for write on this socket */
}
return 0;
}
int main(void)
