.SH NAME
CURLOPT_MAXFILESIZE_LARGE \- maximum file size allowed to download
.SH SYNOPSIS
.nf
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_MAXFILESIZE_LARGE,
curl_off_t size);
.fi
.SH DESCRIPTION
Pass a curl_off_t as parameter. This specifies the maximum accepted \fIsize\fP
(in bytes) of a file to download. If the file requested is found larger than
this value, the transfer is aborted and \fICURLE_FILESIZE_EXCEEDED\fP is
returned. Passing a zero \fIsize\fP disables this, and passing a negative \fIsize\fP
yields a \fICURLE_BAD_FUNCTION_ARGUMENT\fP.
The file size is not always known prior to the download start, and for such
transfers this option has no effect \- even if the file transfer eventually
ends up being larger than this given limit.
Since 8.4.0, this option also stops ongoing transfers if they reach this
threshold.
.SH DEFAULT
0, meaning disabled.
.SH PROTOCOLS
FTP, HTTP and MQTT
.SH EXAMPLE
.nf
int main(void)
{
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
CURLcode ret;
curl_off_t ridiculous = (curl_off_t)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);
}
}
.fi
.SH AVAILABILITY
Added in 7.11.0
.SH RETURN VALUE
Returns CURLE_OK if the option is supported, CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not, or
CURLE_BAD_FUNCTION_ARGUMENT if the size passed is invalid.
