- use the correct include file
- make sure they are declared as in the header file
- fix minor nroff syntax mistakes (missing .fi)
These are verified by verify-synopsis.pl, which extracts the SYNPOSIS
code and runs it through gcc.
Closes#12402
- remove the version numbers
- simplify the texts
The date and version number will be put there for releases when maketgz
runs the updatemanpages.pl script.
Closes#11029
- they are mostly pointless in all major jurisdictions
- many big corporations and projects already don't use them
- saves us from pointless churn
- git keeps history for us
- the year range is kept in COPYING
checksrc is updated to allow non-year using copyright statements
Closes#10205
Add licensing and copyright information for all files in this repository. This
either happens in the file itself as a comment header or in the file
`.reuse/dep5`.
This commit also adds a Github workflow to check pull requests and adapts
copyright.pl to the changes.
Closes#8869
This is the same order we already enforce among the options' man pages:
consistency is good. Add lots of previously missing examples.
Adjust the manpage-syntax script for this purpose, used in test 1173.
Closes#7904
This commit adds curl_multi_wakeup() which was previously in the TODO
list under the curl_multi_unblock name.
On some platforms and with some configurations this feature might not be
available or can fail, in these cases a new error code
(CURLM_WAKEUP_FAILURE) is returned from curl_multi_wakeup().
Fixes#4418Closes#4608
Repeatedly we see problems where using curl_multi_wait() is difficult or
just awkward because if it has no file descriptor to wait for
internally, it returns immediately and leaves it to the caller to wait
for a small amount of time in order to avoid occasional busy-looping.
This is often missed or misunderstood, leading to underperforming
applications.
This change introduces curl_multi_poll() as a replacement drop-in
function that accepts the exact same set of arguments. This function
works identically to curl_multi_wait() - EXCEPT - for the case when
there's nothing to wait for internally, as then this function will by
itself wait for a "suitable" short time before it returns. This
effectiely avoids all risks of busy-looping and should also make it less
likely that apps "over-wait".
This also changes the curl tool to use this funtion internally when
doing parallel transfers and changes curl_easy_perform() to use it
internally.
Closes#4163
