.SH NAME
CURLOPT_MAXCONNECTS \- maximum connection cache size
.SH SYNOPSIS
.nf
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_MAXCONNECTS, long amount);
.fi
.SH DESCRIPTION
Pass a long. The set \fIamount\fP is the maximum number of connections that
libcurl may keep alive in its connection cache after use. The default is 5,
and there is not much point in changing this value unless you are perfectly
aware of how this works. This concerns connections using any of the protocols
that support persistent connections.
When reaching the maximum limit, curl closes the oldest connection present in
the cache to prevent the number of connections from increasing.
If you already have performed transfers with this curl handle, setting a
smaller \fICURLOPT_MAXCONNECTS(3)\fP than before may cause open connections to get
closed unnecessarily.
If you add this easy handle to a multi handle, this setting is not
acknowledged, and you must instead use \fIcurl_multi_setopt(3)\fP and the
\fICURLMOPT_MAXCONNECTS(3)\fP option.
.SH DEFAULT
5
.SH PROTOCOLS
This functionality affects all supported protocols

int main(void)

/* limit the connection cache for this handle to no more than 3 */
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_MAXCONNECTS, 3L);
ret = curl_easy_perform(curl);
}
}
