curlopt_maxfilesize

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

SEE ALSO
