Description:
------------
The cURL multi functions have no documentation - only one or two short examples from users.

A feature doesn't exist until it's documented.

We have a tool which lists all undocumented functions: 
http://doc.php.net/php/undoc_functions.php

Please, by all means, lend us a hand if you can.

I will if I have time, however there are bits that I just don't know about - for example, what *exactly* the _select and _exec functions do. This is why I filed the bug - for example, if I call curl_multi_exec, go off and do something else, then call curl_multi_exec again until &$active is false, would cURL have been retrieving data while I was doing "do something else", or will have that been wasted time? I think these are the things that really need documenting and probably need the module author to explain.
