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
