  57 <p class="level0">This function extracts file descriptor information from a given multi_handle. libcurl returns its fd_set sets. The application can use these to select() on, but be sure to FD_ZERO them before calling this function as <a class="emphasis" href="./curl_multi_fdset.html">curl_multi_fdset(3)</a> only adds its own descriptors it doesn't zero or otherwise remove any other. The <a class="emphasis" href="./curl_multi_perform.html">curl_multi_perform(3)</a> function should be called as soon as one of them are ready to be read from or written to.
  58 <p class="level0">If no file descriptors are set by libcurl, <span Class="emphasis">max_fd</span> will contain -1 when this function returns. Otherwise it will contain the higher descriptor number libcurl set.
  59 <p class="level0">You should also be aware that when doing select(), you should consider using a rather small (single-digit number of seconds) timeout and call <span Class="emphasis">curl_multi_perform</span> regularly - even if no activity has been seen on the fd_sets - as otherwise libcurl-internal retries and timeouts may not work as you'd think and want.
  60 <p class="level0">Starting with libcurl 7.16.0, you should use <span Class="bold">curl_multi_timeout</span> to figure out how long to wait for action. <a name="RETURN"></a><h2 class="nroffsh">RETURN VALUE</h2>
