NAME
       curlmultitimeout - how long to wait for action before proceeding

SYNOPSIS
       #include 

       CURLMcode curlmultitimeout(CURLM *multihandle, long *timeout);

DESCRIPTION
       An   application   using   the  libcurl  multi  interface  should  call
       ccuurrllmmuullttiittiimmeeoouutt((33)) to figure out how long it should wait for  socket
       actions - at most - before proceeding.

       Proceeding means either doing the socket-style timeout action: call the
       ccuurrllmmuullttiissoocckkeett((33))  function  with  the  ssoocckkffdd   argument   set   to
       CURLSOCKETTIMEOUT  and the eeaassyy argument set to CURLEASYTIMEOUT, or
       simply calling ccuurrllmmuullttiippeerrffoorrmm((33)) if you're using  the  simpler  and
       older multi interface approach.

       The  timeout value returned in the long ttiimmeeoouutt points to, is in number
       of milliseconds at this very moment. If 0, it means you should  proceed
       immediately  without waiting for anything. If it returns -1, there's no
       timeout at all set.

RREETTUURRNN VVAALLUUEE
       The standard CURLMcode for multi interface error codes.

TTYYPPIICCAALL UUSSAAGGEE
       Call ccuurrllmmuullttiittiimmeeoouutt((33)), then wait for action on  the  sockets.  You
       figure  out which sockets to wait for by calling ccuurrllmmuullttiiffddsseett((33)) or
       by a previous call to ccuurrllmmuullttiissoocckkeett((33)).

AVAILABILITY       This function was added in libcurl 7.15.4, although not  deemed  stable
       yet.
