.SH NAME
curl_multi_setopt \- set options for a curl multi handle
.SH SYNOPSIS
.nf
#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLMcode curl_multi_setopt(CURLM *multi, CURLMoption option, parameter);
.fi
.SH DESCRIPTION
\fIcurl_multi_setopt(3)\fP is used to tell a libcurl multi handle how to behave. By
using the appropriate options to \fIcurl_multi_setopt(3)\fP, you can change
libcurl\(aqs behavior when using that multi handle. All options are set with the
\fIoption\fP followed by the \fIparameter\fP. That parameter can be a \fBlong\fP, a
\fBfunction pointer\fP, an \fBobject pointer\fP or a \fBcurl_off_t\fP type,
depending on what the specific option expects. Read this manual carefully as
bad input values may cause libcurl to behave badly. You can only set one
option in each function call.
