NAME

       CURLOPT_BUFFERSIZE - set preferred receive buffer size

SYNOPSIS

       #include <curl/curl.h>

       CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_BUFFERSIZE, long size);

DESCRIPTION

       Pass  a  long specifying your preferred size (in bytes) for the receive buffer in libcurl.
       The main point of this would be that the write callback gets called more  often  and  with
       smaller  chunks. This is just treated as a request, not an order. You cannot be guaranteed
       to actually get the given size.

       This size is by default set as big as possible (CURL_MAX_WRITE_SIZE),  so  it  only  makes
       sense to use this option if you want it smaller.

       CURL_MAX_WRITE_SIZE
