CURLOPT_MAXFILESIZE(3) curl_easy_setopt options CURLOPT_MAXFILESIZE(3)NAMECURLOPT_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_FILE‐
SIZE_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 trans‐
fers.
If you want a limit above 2GB, use CURLOPT_MAXFILESIZE_LARGE(3).
