CURLOPT_MAXCONNECTS(3)              libcurl             CURLOPT_MAXCONNECTS(3)

NAME
       CURLOPT_MAXCONNECTS - maximum connection cache size

SYNOPSIS
       #include <curl/curl.h>

       CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_MAXCONNECTS, long amount);

DESCRIPTION
       Pass  a  long.  The  set amount is the maximum number of simultaneously
       open persistent connections that libcurl may cache in the pool  associ-
       ated with this handle. 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 per-
       sistent connections.

       When reaching the maximum limit, curl closes  the  oldest  one  in  the
       cache to prevent increasing the number of open connections.

       If  you already have performed transfers with this curl handle, setting
       a smaller CURLOPT_MAXCONNECTS(3) 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  curl_multi_setopt(3)  and  the
       CURLMOPT_MAXCONNECTS(3) option.

DEFAULT
       5

PROTOCOLS
       Most

EXAMPLE
       CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
       if(curl) {
         CURLcode ret;
         curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com/");
         /* limit the connection cache for this handle to no more than 3 */
         curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_MAXCONNECTS, 3L);
         ret = curl_easy_perform(curl);
       }

AVAILABILITY
       Always

RETURN VALUE
       Returns CURLE_OK
