CURLMINFO_XFERS_PENDING - Man Page

Number of easy handles waiting to start

Synopsis

#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLMcode curl_multi_get_offt(CURLM *handle, CURLMINFO_XFERS_PENDING,
                              curl_off_t *pvalue);

Description

The number of current easy handles waiting to start. An added transfer might become pending for various reasons: a connection limit forces it to wait, resolving DNS is not finished or it is not clear if an existing, matching connection may allow multiplexing (HTTP/2 or HTTP/3).

Default

n/a

Protocols

This functionality affects all supported protocols

int main(void)
{
  CURLM *m = curl_multi_init();

}

Availability

Added in curl 8.16.0
