.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_handle, 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.
