/*
This is meant to be the "external" header file. Don't give away any
internals here!
This document presents a mixture of ideas from at least:
- Daniel Stenberg
- Steve Dekorte
- Sterling Hughes
- Ben Greear
-------------------------------------------
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.

* error code from the transfer or just the fact that a transfer is
* completed. More details on these should be written down as well.
*
* Repeated calls to this function will return a new struct each

* that there is no more to get at this point.
*
* The data the returned pointer points to will not survive calling
* curl_multi_cleanup().
*
* The 'CURLMsg' struct is meant to be very simple and only contain
* very basic informations. If more involved information is wanted,
* we will provide the particular "transfer handle" in that struct
* and that should/could/would be used in subsequent
* curl_easy_getinfo() calls (or similar). The point being that we
* must never expose complex structs to applications, as then we'll
* undoubtably get backwards compatibility problems in the future.
*
* Returns: A pointer to a filled-in struct, or NULL if it failed or ran out
* of structs. It also writes the number of messages left in the
* queue (after this read) in the integer the second argument points
* to.
