+.TH CURLMOPT_SOCKETFUNCTION 3 "3 Nov 2014" "libcurl 7.39.0" "curl_multi_setopt options"
+.SH NAME
+CURLMOPT_SOCKETFUNCTION \- callback informed about what to wait for
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.nf
+#include <curl/curl.h>
+
+int socket_callback(CURL *easy, /* easy handle */
+ curl_socket_t s, /* socket */
+ int what, /* see above */
+ void *userp, /* private callback pointer */
+ void *socketp); /* private socket pointer */
+
+CURLcode curl_multi_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLMOPT_SOCKETFUNCTION, socket_callback);
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+Pass a pointer to your callback function, which should match the prototype
+shown above.
+
+When the \fIcurl_multi_socket_action(3)\fP function runs, it informs the
+application about updates in the socket (file descriptor) status by doing
+none, one, or multiple calls to the \fBsocket_callback\fP. The callback gets
+status updates with changes since the previous time the callback was called.
+If the given callback pointer is NULL, no callback will be called. Set the
+callback's \fBuserp\fP argument with \fICURLMOPT_SOCKETDATA(3)\fP. See
+\fIcurl_multi_socket_action(3)\fP for more details on how the callback is used
+and should work.
+.SH DEFAULT
+NULL (no callback)
+.SH PROTOCOLS
+All
+.SH EXAMPLE
+TODO
+.SH AVAILABILITY
+Added in 7.15.4
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+Returns CURLM_OK.
