.SH NAME
curl_multi_fdset - extracts file descriptor information from a multi handle
.SH SYNOPSIS
currently does something that isn't possible for your application to monitor
with a socket and unfortunately you can then not know exactly when the current
action is completed using select(). You then need to wait a while before you
-proceed and call \fIcurl_multi_perform(3)\fP anyway. How long to wait? We
-suggest 100 milliseconds at least, but you may want to test it out in your own
-particular conditions to find a suitable value.

+\fIcurl_multi_timeout(3)\fP gives you a lower number, we suggest 100

When doing select(), you should use \fIcurl_multi_timeout(3)\fP to figure out
how long to wait for action. Call \fIcurl_multi_perform(3)\fP even if no
