CURLOPT_MAXFILESIZE_LARGE(3)				     curl_easy_setopt options				      CURLOPT_MAXFILESIZE_LARGE(3)

NAME

       CURLOPT_MAXFILESIZE_LARGE - maximum file size allowed to download

SYNOPSIS

       #include <curl/curl.h>

       CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_MAXFILESIZE_LARGE,
				 curl_off_t size);

DESCRIPTION

       Pass  a	curl_off_t  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.

DEFAULT

       None

PROTOCOLS

       FTP and HTTP

EXAMPLE

       TODO

AVAILABILITY

       Added in 7.11.0

RETURN VALUE

       Returns CURLE_OK if the option is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not.
