+# NAME
+
+curl_multi_info_read - read multi stack information
+
+# SYNOPSIS
+
+~~~c
+#include <curl/curl.h>
+
+CURLMsg *curl_multi_info_read(CURLM *multi_handle, int *msgs_in_queue);
+~~~
+
+# DESCRIPTION
+
+Ask the multi handle if there are any messages from the individual
+transfers. Messages may include information such as an 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 returns a new struct each time, until a NULL
+is returned as a signal that there is no more to get at this point. The
+integer pointed to with *msgs_in_queue* contains the number of remaining
+messages after this function was called.
+
+When you fetch a message using this function, it is removed from the internal
+queue so calling this function again does not return the same message
+again. It instead returns new messages at each new invoke until the queue is
+emptied.
+
+**WARNING:** The data the returned pointer points to does not survive
+calling curl_multi_cleanup(3), curl_multi_remove_handle(3) or
+curl_easy_cleanup(3).
+
+The *CURLMsg* struct is simple and only contains basic information. If
+more involved information is wanted, the particular "easy handle" is present
+in that struct and can be used in subsequent regular
+curl_easy_getinfo(3) calls (or similar):
+
+~~~c
+ struct CURLMsg {
+   CURLMSG msg;       /* what this message means */
+   CURL *easy_handle; /* the handle it concerns */
+   union {
+     void *whatever;    /* message-specific data */
+     CURLcode result;   /* return code for transfer */
+   } data;
+ };
+~~~
+When **msg** is *CURLMSG_DONE*, the message identifies a transfer that
+is done, and then **result** contains the return code for the easy handle
+that just completed.
+
+At this point, there are no other **msg** types defined.
+
+# EXAMPLE
+
+~~~c
+int main(void)
+{
+  CURLM *multi = curl_multi_init();
+  CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
+  if(curl) {
+    struct CURLMsg *m;
+
+    /* call curl_multi_perform or curl_multi_socket_action first, then loop
+       through and check if there are any transfers that have completed */
+
+    do {
+      int msgq = 0;
+      m = curl_multi_info_read(multi, &msgq);
+      if(m && (m->msg == CURLMSG_DONE)) {
+        CURL *e = m->easy_handle;
+        /* m->data.result holds the error code for the transfer */
+        curl_multi_remove_handle(multi, e);
+        curl_easy_cleanup(e);
+      }
+    } while(m);
+  }
+}

+# AVAILABILITY
+
+Added in 7.9.6
+
+# RETURN VALUE
+
+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.
