NAME

6       curl_multi_wakeup - wakes up a sleeping curl_multi_poll call
7

SYNOPSIS

9       #include <curl/curl.h>
10
11       CURLMcode curl_multi_wakeup(CURLM *multi_handle);
12

DESCRIPTION

14       This  function can be called from any thread and it wakes up a sleeping
15       curl_multi_poll(3) call that is currently  (or  will  be)  waiting  for
16       activity or a timeout.
17
18       If  the function is called when there is no curl_multi_poll(3) call, it
19       will cause the next call to return immediately.
20
21       Calling this function only guarantees to wake up the  current  (or  the
22       next if there is no current) curl_multi_poll(3) call, which means it is
23       possible that multiple calls to this function will  wake  up  the  same
24       waiting operation.
25
26       This function has no effect on curl_multi_wait(3) calls.
27

RETURN VALUE

29       CURLMcode type, general libcurl multi interface error code.

EXAMPLE

35       CURL *easy_handle;
36       CURLM *multi_handle;
37
38       /* add the individual easy handle */

40
41       /* this is thread 1 */
42       do {
43         CURLMcode mc;
44         int numfds;
45
46         mc = curl_multi_perform(multi_handle, &still_running);
47
48         if(mc == CURLM_OK) {
49           /* wait for activity, timeout or wakeup */
50           mc = curl_multi_poll(multi_handle, NULL, 0, 10000, &numfds);
51         }
