curl_easy_setopt options CURLOPT_MAXFILESIZE_LARGE(3) 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_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. DEFAULT None PROTOCOLS FTP, HTTP and MQTT EXAMPLE CURL *curl = curl_easy_init(); if(curl) { CURLcode ret; curl_off_t ridiculous = 1 << 48; curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com/"); /* refuse to download if larger than ridiculous */ curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_MAXFILESIZE_LARGE, ridiculous); ret = curl_easy_perform(curl); } AVAILABILITY Added in 7.11.0 RETURN VALUE Returns CURLE_OK if the option is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not.
