.SH "RETURN VALUE"
CURLMcode type, general libcurl multi interface error code.

If you receive \fICURLM_CALL_MULTI_PERFORM\fP, this basicly means that you
should call \fIcurl_multi_perform\fP again, before you select() on more
actions. You don't have to do it immediately, but the return code means that
libcurl may have more data available to return or that there may be more data
to send off before it is "satisfied".

NOTE that this only returns errors etc regarding the whole multi stack. There
might still have occurred problems on invidual transfers even when this
function returns OK.
