  printf("my ptr: %p\n", p->ours);


  if(what == CURL_POLL_REMOVE) {


    /* remove the socket from our collection */


  }


  if(what & CURL_POLL_IN) {


    /* wait for read on this socket */


  }


  if(what & CURL_POLL_OUT) {


    /* wait for write on this socket */


  }


  return 0;
}
int main(void)
{


  struct priv setup;


  CURLM *multi = curl_multi_init();
