+# NAME
+
+CURLMOPT_MAX_TOTAL_CONNECTIONS - max simultaneously open connections
+
+# SYNOPSIS
+
+~~~c
+#include <curl/curl.h>
+
+CURLMcode curl_multi_setopt(CURLM *handle, CURLMOPT_MAX_TOTAL_CONNECTIONS,
+                            long amount);
+~~~
+
+# DESCRIPTION
+
+Pass a long for the **amount**. The set number is used as the maximum number
+of simultaneously open connections in total using this multi handle. For each
+new session, libcurl might open a new connection up to the limit set by
+CURLMOPT_MAX_TOTAL_CONNECTIONS(3). When the limit is reached, new
+sessions are held pending until there are available connections. If
+CURLMOPT_PIPELINING(3) is enabled, libcurl can try multiplexing if the
+host is capable of it.
+
+When more transfers are added to the multi handle than what can be performed
+due to the set limit, they get queued up waiting for their chance. When that
+happens, the CURLOPT_TIMEOUT_MS(3) timeout is counted inclusive of the
+waiting time, meaning that if you set a too narrow timeout in such a case the
+transfer might never even start before it times out.
+
+Even in the queued up situation, the CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT_MS(3)
+timeout is however treated as a per-connect timeout.
+
+# DEFAULT
+
+The default value is 0, which means that there is no limit. It is then simply
+controlled by the number of easy handles added.
+
+# PROTOCOLS
+
+All
+
+# EXAMPLE
+
+~~~c
+int main(void)
+{
+  CURLM *m = curl_multi_init();
+  /* never do more than 15 connections */
+  curl_multi_setopt(m, CURLMOPT_MAX_TOTAL_CONNECTIONS, 15L);
+}

+# AVAILABILITY
+
+Added in 7.30.0
+
+# RETURN VALUE
+
+Returns CURLM_OK if the option is supported, and CURLM_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not.
