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

AVAILABILITY¶

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