/* <DESC>
 * multi socket API usage together with glib2
 * </DESC>
 */
/* Example application source code using the multi socket interface to
 * download many files at once.
 *
 * Written by Jeff Pohlmeyer
 
 Requires glib-2.x and a (POSIX?) system that has mkfifo().
 
 This is an adaptation of libcurl's "hipev.c" and libevent's "event-test.c"
 sample programs, adapted to use glib's g_io_channel in place of libevent.
 
 When running, the program creates the named pipe "hiper.fifo"
 
 Whenever there is input into the fifo, the program reads the input as a list
 of URL's and creates some new easy handles to fetch each URL via the
 curl_multi "hiper" API.
 
 
 Thus, you can try a single URL:
 % echo http://www.yahoo.com > hiper.fifo
 
 Or a whole bunch of them:
 % cat my-url-list > hiper.fifo
 
 The fifo buffer is handled almost instantly, so you can even add more URL's
 while the previous requests are still being downloaded.
 
 This is purely a demo app, all retrieved data is simply discarded by the write
 callback.

Notice

This source code example is simplified and ignores return codes and error checks to a large extent. We do this to highlight the libcurl function calls and related options and reduce unrelated code.

A real-world application will of course properly check every return value and exit correctly at the first serious error.
