  <para>
   Ask the multi handle if there are any messages or information 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.
  </para>
  <para>   
   Repeated calls to this function will return a new result each time, until a &false; is returned 
   as a signal that there is no more to get at this point. The integer pointed to with 
   <parameter>msgs_in_queue</parameter> will contain the number of remaining messages after this 
   function was called.
  </para>
  <warning>
   <para>
    The data the returned resource points to will not survive calling 
    <function>curl_multi_remove_handle</function>.
