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).
