.SH NAME
CURLMOPT_MAXCONNECTS \- size of connection cache
.SH SYNOPSIS
.nf
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLMcode curl_multi_setopt(CURLM *handle, CURLMOPT_MAXCONNECTS, long max);
.fi
.SH DESCRIPTION
Pass a long indicating the \fBmax\fP. The set number is used as the maximum
amount of simultaneously open connections that libcurl may keep in its
connection cache after completed use. By default libcurl enlarges the size for
each added easy handle to make it fit 4 times the number of added easy
handles.
By setting this option, you can prevent the cache size from growing beyond the
limit set by you.
When the cache is full, curl closes the oldest one in the cache to prevent the
number of open connections from increasing.
This option is for the multi handle\(aqs use only, when using the easy interface
you should instead use the \fICURLOPT_MAXCONNECTS(3)\fP option.
See \fICURLMOPT_MAX_TOTAL_CONNECTIONS(3)\fP for limiting the number of active
connections.
Changing this value when there are transfers in progress is possible, and the
new value is then used the next time checks are performed. Lowering the value
does however not close down any active transfers, it simply does not allow new
ones to get made.
