NAME

       CURLINFO_SIZE_DOWNLOAD - get the number of downloaded bytes

SYNOPSIS

       #include <curl/curl.h>

       CURLcode curl_easy_getinfo(CURL *handle, CURLINFO_SIZE_DOWNLOAD, double *dlp);

DESCRIPTION

       Pass  a pointer to a double to receive the total amount of bytes that were downloaded. The
       amount is only for the latest transfer and gets reset again for each  new  transfer.  This
       counts  actual payload data, what's also commonly called body. All meta and header data is
       excluded and not included in this number.

       CURLINFO_SIZE_DOWNLOAD_T(3) is a newer replacement that returns a more  sensible  variable
       type.
