It will block until activity is detected on at least one of the handles or \fItimeout_ms\fP has passed. +Alternatively, if the multi handle has a pending internal timeout that has a +shorter expiry time than \fItimeout_ms\fP, that shorter time will be used +instead to make sure timeout accuracy is reasonably kept.
