| .TH CURLOPT_BUFFERSIZE 3 "17 Jun 2014" "libcurl 7.37.0" "curl_easy_setopt options" |
| .SH NAME |
| CURLOPT_BUFFERSIZE \- set preferred receive buffer size |
| .SH SYNOPSIS |
| #include <curl/curl.h> |
| |
| CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_BUFFERSIZE, long size); |
| .SH DESCRIPTION |
| Pass a long specifying your preferred \fIsize\fP (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 (\fICURL_MAX_WRITE_SIZE\fP), so |
| it only makes sense to use this option if you want it smaller. |
| .SH DEFAULT |
| CURL_MAX_WRITE_SIZE |
| .SH PROTOCOLS |
| All |
| .SH EXAMPLE |
| TODO |
| .SH AVAILABILITY |
| Added in 7.10 |
| .SH RETURN VALUE |
| Returns CURLE_OK if the option is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not. |
| .SH "SEE ALSO" |
| .BR CURLOPT_MAX_RECV_SPEED_LARGE "(3), " CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION "(3), " |
