     31     and when to ask libcurl to get/send data.
     32 
     33   o Enable multiple simultaneous transfers in the same thread without making it
     34     complicated for the application.
     35 
     36   o Enable the application to select() on its own file descriptors and curl's
     37     file descriptors simultaneous easily.
