/*
  This is an "external" header file. Don't give away any internals here!

  GOALS

  o Enable a "pull" interface. The application that uses libcurl decides where
    and when to ask libcurl to get/send data.

  o Enable multiple simultaneous transfers in the same thread without making it
    complicated for the application.

  o Enable the application to select() on its own file descriptors and curl's
    file descriptors simultaneous easily.

*/

/*
 * This header file should not really need to include "curl.h" since curl.h
 * itself includes this file and we expect user applications to do #include
 * <curl/curl.h> without the need for especially including multi.h.
 *
 * For some reason we added this include here at one point, and rather than to
 * break existing (wrongly written) libcurl applications, we leave it as-is
 * but with this warning attached.
