CURLOPT_MAXFILESIZE(3) curl_easy_setopt options CURLOPT_MAXFILESIZE(3)NAME
CURLOPT_MAXFILESIZE - maximum file size allowed to download
SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_MAXFILESIZE, long size);
DESCRIPTION
Pass a long as parameter. This allows you to specify the maximum size (in bytes) of a file to download. If the file requested is found
larger than this value, the transfer will not start and CURLE_FILESIZE_EXCEEDED will be returned.
The file size is not always known prior to download, and for such files this option has no effect even if the file transfer ends up being
larger than this given limit. This concerns both FTP and HTTP transfers.
If you want a limit above 2GB, use CURLOPT_MAXFILESIZE_LARGE(3).
DEFAULT
None
PROTOCOLS
FTP and HTTP
EXAMPLE
TODO
AVAILABILITY
Always
RETURN VALUE
Returns CURLE_OK

CURLOPT_NOBODY(3) curl_easy_setopt options CURLOPT_NOBODY(3)NAME
CURLOPT_NOBODY - do the download request without getting the body
SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_NOBODY, long opt);
DESCRIPTION
A long parameter set to 1 tells libcurl to not include the body-part in the output when doing what would otherwise be a download. For
HTTP(S), this makes libcurl do a HEAD request. For most other protocols it means just not asking to transfer the body data.
Enabling this option means asking for a download but without a body.
DEFAULT
0, the body is transferred
PROTOCOLS
Most
EXAMPLE
curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "http://example.com");
/* get us the resource without a body! */
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_NOBODY, 1L);
/* Perform the request */
curl_easy_perform(curl);
}
AVAILABILITY

RETURN VALUE
Returns CURLE_OK
