# NAME
CURLOPT_MAXFILESIZE_LARGE - maximum file size allowed to download
# SYNOPSIS
~~~c
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_MAXFILESIZE_LARGE,
curl_off_t size);
~~~
# DESCRIPTION
Pass a curl_off_t as parameter. This specifies the maximum accepted *size*
(in bytes) of a file to download. If the file requested is found larger than
this value, the transfer is aborted and *CURLE_FILESIZE_EXCEEDED* is
returned.
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.
# DEFAULT
None
# PROTOCOLS
FTP, HTTP and MQTT
# EXAMPLE
~~~c
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);
}
}
~~~
# AVAILABILITY
Added in 7.11.0
# RETURN VALUE
Returns CURLE_OK if the option is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not.
