<a name="DESCRIPTION"></a><h2 class="nroffsh">DESCRIPTION</h2>
<p class="level0">Pass a pointer to your callback function, which should match the prototype shown above.
<p class="level0">Certain features, such as timeouts and retries, require you to call libcurl even when there is no activity on the file descriptors.
<p class="level0">Your callback function <span Class="bold">timer_callback</span> should install a non-repeating timer with an interval of <span Class="bold">timeout_ms</span>. Each time that timer fires, call either <span Class="emphasis">curl_multi_socket_action(3)</span> or <span Class="emphasis">curl_multi_perform(3)</span>, depending on which interface you use.
<p class="level0">A <span Class="bold">timeout_ms</span> value of -1 means you should delete your timer.
<p class="level0">A <span Class="bold">timeout_ms</span> value of 0 means you should call <span Class="emphasis">curl_multi_socket_action(3)</span> or <span Class="emphasis">curl_multi_perform(3)</span> (once) as soon as possible.
<p class="level0"><span Class="bold">timer_callback</span> will only be called when the <span Class="bold">timeout_ms</span> changes.
<p class="level0">The <span Class="bold">userp</span> pointer is set with <a Class="emphasis" href="./CURLMOPT_TIMERDATA.html">CURLMOPT_TIMERDATA</a>.
<p class="level0">The timer callback should return 0 on success, and -1 on error. This callback can be used instead of, or in addition to, <span Class="emphasis">curl_multi_timeout(3)</span>. <a name="DEFAULT"></a><h2 class="nroffsh">DEFAULT</h2>
