*
* Desc: An alternative version of curl_multi_perform() that allows the
* application to pass in one of the file descriptors that have been
- * detected to have "action" on them and let libcurl perform. This
- * allows libcurl to not have to scan through all possible file
- * descriptors to check for this. The app is recommended to pass in
- * the 'easy' argument (or set it to CURL_EASY_NONE) to make libcurl
- * figure out the internal structure even faster and easier. If the
- * easy argument is set to something else than CURL_EASY_NONE, the
- * 's' (socket) argument will be ignored by libcurl.
- *
- * It also informs the application about updates in the socket (file
- * descriptor) status by doing none, one or multiple calls to the
- * curl_socket_callback. It thus updates the status with changes
- * since the previous time this function was used. If 'callback' is
- * NULL, no callback will be called. A status change may also be a
- * new timeout only, having the same IN/OUT status as before.
- *
- * If a previous wait for socket action(s) timed out, you should call
- * this function with the socket argument set to
- * CURL_SOCKET_TIMEOUT. If you want to force libcurl to (re-)check
- * all its internal sockets, and call the callback with status for
- * all sockets no matter what the previous state is, you call
- * curl_multi_socket_all() instead.
- *
- * curl_multi_perform() is thus the equivalent of calling
- * curl_multi_socket_all(handle, NULL, NULL);
- *
- * IMPLEMENTATION: libcurl will need an internal hash table to map
- * socket numbers to internal easy handles for the cases when 'easy'
- * is set to CURL_EASY_NONE.
- *
- * Regarding the timeout argument in the callback: it is the timeout
- * (in milliseconds) for waiting on action on this socket (and the
- * given time period starts when the callback is called) until you
- * should call curl_multi_socket() with the timeout stuff mentioned
- * above. If "actions" happens on the socket before the timeout
- * happens, remember that the timout timer keeps ticking until told
- * otherwise.
- *
- * The "what" argument has one of five values:
- *
- * 0 CURL_POLL_NONE (0) - register, not interested in readiness
- * 1 CURL_POLL_IN - register, interested in read readiness
- * 2 CURL_POLL_OUT - register, interested in write readiness
- * 3 CURL_POLL_INOUT - register, interested in both
- * 4 CURL_POLL_REMOVE - deregister
+ * detected to have "action" on them and let libcurl perform.
+ * See man page for details.
