CURLOPT_DIRLISTONLY(3)					     curl_easy_setopt options					    CURLOPT_DIRLISTONLY(3)

NAME
       CURLOPT_DIRLISTONLY - ask for names only in a directory listing

SYNOPSIS
       #include <curl/curl.h>

       CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_DIRLISTONLY, long listonly);

DESCRIPTION
       For FTP and SFTP based URLs a parameter set to 1 tells the library to list the names of files in a directory, rather than performing a full
       directory listing that would normally include file sizes, dates etc.

       For POP3 a parameter of 1 tells the library to list the email message or messages on the POP3 server.  This  can  be  used  to  change  the
       default	behaviour  of  libcurl, when combined with a URL that contains a message ID, to perform a "scan listing" which can then be used to
       determine the size of an email.

       Note: For FTP this causes a NLST command to be sent to the FTP server.  Beware that some FTP servers list only files in their  response	to
       NLST; they might not include subdirectories and symbolic links.

       Setting this option to 1 also implies a directory listing even if the URL doesn't end with a slash, which otherwise is necessary.

       Do NOT use this option if you also use CURLOPT_WILDCARDMATCH(3) as it will effectively break that feature then.

DEFAULT
       0, disabled
