xenial (3) CURLOPT_BUFFERSIZE.3.gz

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.

DEFAULT

       CURL_MAX_WRITE_SIZE
