When you're saying "socket data structure", are you referring to the socket
file descriptor?

As libcurl doesn't check for activity on the sockets by itself, you must make
sure that is done (libcurl tells you what to wait for and on which
descriptors) and when the given action occurs you tell libcurl about it. Then
you need to tell curl which actitity that happened on which file descriptor.
