# NAME

CURLMINFO_XFERS_PENDING - Number of easy handles waiting to start

# SYNOPSIS

~~~c
#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLMcode curl_multi_get_offt(CURLM *handle, CURLMINFO_XFERS_PENDING,
                              curl_off_t *pvalue);
~~~

# DESCRIPTION

The number of current easy handles waiting to start. An added transfer might
become pending for various reasons: a connection limit forces it to wait,
resolving DNS is not finished or it is not clear if an existing, matching
connection may allow multiplexing (HTTP/2 or HTTP/3).

# DEFAULT

n/a

# %PROTOCOLS%

# EXAMPLE

~~~c
int main(void)
{
  CURLM *m = curl_multi_init();
  curl_off_t value;

  curl_multi_get_offt(m, CURLMINFO_XFERS_PENDING, &value);
}
~~~

# %AVAILABILITY%

# RETURN VALUE

curl_multi_get_offt(3) returns a CURLMcode indicating success or error.

CURLM_OK (0) means everything was OK, non-zero means an error occurred, see
libcurl-errors(3).
