# NAME
|
||
|
|
||
|
curl_multi_info_read - read multi stack information
|
||
|
|
||
|
# SYNOPSIS
|
||
|
|
||
|
~~~c
|
||
|
#include <curl/curl.h>
|
||
|
|
||
|
CURLMsg *curl_multi_info_read(CURLM *multi_handle, int *msgs_in_queue);
|
||
|
~~~
|
||
|
|
||
|
# DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
||
|
Ask the multi handle if there are any messages from the individual
|
||
|
transfers. Messages may include information such as an error code from the
|
||
|
transfer or just the fact that a transfer is completed. More details on these
|
||
|
should be written down as well.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Repeated calls to this function returns a new struct each time, until a NULL
|
||
|
is returned as a signal that there is no more to get at this point. The
|
||
|
integer pointed to with *msgs_in_queue* contains the number of remaining
|
||
|
messages after this function was called.
|
||
|
|
||
|
When you fetch a message using this function, it is removed from the internal
|
||
|
queue so calling this function again does not return the same message
|
||
|
again. It instead returns new messages at each new invoke until the queue is
|
||
|
emptied.
|
||
|
|
||
|
**WARNING:** The data the returned pointer points to does not survive
|
||
|
calling curl_multi_cleanup(3), curl_multi_remove_handle(3) or
|
||
|
curl_easy_cleanup(3).
|
||
|
|
||
|
The *CURLMsg* struct is simple and only contains basic information. If
|
||
|
more involved information is wanted, the particular "easy handle" is present
|
||
|
in that struct and can be used in subsequent regular
|
||
|
curl_easy_getinfo(3) calls (or similar):
|
||
|
|
||
|
~~~c
|
||
|
struct CURLMsg {
|
||
|
CURLMSG msg; /* what this message means */
|
||
|
CURL *easy_handle; /* the handle it concerns */
|
||
|
union {
|
||
|
void *whatever; /* message-specific data */
|
||
|
CURLcode result; /* return code for transfer */
|
||
|
} data;
|
||
|
};
|
||
|
~~~
|
||
|
When **msg** is *CURLMSG_DONE*, the message identifies a transfer that
|
||
|
is done, and then **result** contains the return code for the easy handle
|
||
|
that just completed.
|
||
|
|
||
|
At this point, there are no other **msg** types defined.
|
||
|
|
||
|
# EXAMPLE
|
||
|
|
||
|
~~~c
|
||
|
int main(void)
|
||
|
{
|
||
|
CURLM *multi = curl_multi_init();
|
||
|
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
|
||
|
if(curl) {
|
||
|
struct CURLMsg *m;
|
||
|
|
||
|
/* call curl_multi_perform or curl_multi_socket_action first, then loop
|
||
|
through and check if there are any transfers that have completed */
|
||
|
|
||
|
do {
|
||
|
int msgq = 0;
|
||
|
m = curl_multi_info_read(multi, &msgq);
|
||
|
if(m && (m->msg == CURLMSG_DONE)) {
|
||
|
CURL *e = m->easy_handle;
|
||
|
/* m->data.result holds the error code for the transfer */
|
||
|
curl_multi_remove_handle(multi, e);
|
||
|
curl_easy_cleanup(e);
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
} while(m);
|
||
|

# RETURN VALUE
|
||
|
|
||
|
A pointer to a filled-in struct, or NULL if it failed or ran out of
|
||
|
structs. It also writes the number of messages left in the queue (after this
|
||
|
read) in the integer the second argument points to.
