CURLMOPT_MAX_TOTAL_CONNECTIONS(3) libcurl CURLMOPT_MAX_TOTAL_CONNECTIONS(3)
NAME
CURLMOPT_MAX_TOTAL_CONNECTIONS - max simultaneously open connections
SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLMcode curl_multi_setopt(CURLM *handle, CURLMOPT_MAX_TOTAL_CONNECTIONS,
long amount);
DESCRIPTION
Pass a long for the amount. The set number is used as the maximum num-
ber of simultaneously open connections in total using this multi han-
dle. For each new session, libcurl might open a new connection up to
the limit set by CURLMOPT_MAX_TOTAL_CONNECTIONS(3). When the limit is
reached, new sessions are held pending until there are available con-
nections. If CURLMOPT_PIPELINING(3) is enabled, libcurl can try multi-
plexing if the host is capable of it.
When more transfers are added to the multi handle than what can be per-
formed due to the set limit, they get queued up waiting for their
chance. When that happens, the CURLOPT_TIMEOUT_MS(3) timeout is counted
inclusive of the waiting time, meaning that if you set a too narrow
timeout in such a case the transfer might never even start before it
times out.
Even in the queued up situation, the CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT_MS(3) time-
out is however treated as a per-connect timeout.
DEFAULT
The default value is 0, which means that there is no limit. It is then
simply controlled by the number of easy handles added.
