# DESCRIPTION
Pass a pointer to your callback function, which should match the prototype
shown above.
This callback function gets called by libcurl before a part of the stream is
going to be transferred (if the transfer supports chunks).
The *transfer_info* pointer points to a **curl_fileinfo** struct with
details about the file that is about to get transferred.
This callback makes sense only when using the CURLOPT_WILDCARDMATCH(3)
option for now.
The target of transfer_info parameter is a "feature depended" structure. For
the FTP wildcard download, the target is **curl_fileinfo** structure (see
*curl/curl.h*). The parameter *ptr* is a pointer given by
CURLOPT_CHUNK_DATA(3). The parameter remains contains number of chunks
remaining per the transfer. If the feature is not available, the parameter has
zero value.
Return *CURL_CHUNK_BGN_FUNC_OK* if everything is fine,
*CURL_CHUNK_BGN_FUNC_SKIP* if you want to skip the concrete chunk or
*CURL_CHUNK_BGN_FUNC_FAIL* to tell libcurl to stop if some error occurred.

# EXAMPLE
~~~c
#include <stdio.h>
struct callback_data {
FILE *output;
};
static long file_is_coming(struct curl_fileinfo *finfo,
void *ptr,
int remains)
{
struct callback_data *data = ptr;
printf("%3d %40s %10luB ", remains, finfo->filename,
(unsigned long)finfo->size);
switch(finfo->filetype) {
case CURLFILETYPE_DIRECTORY:
printf(" DIR\n");
break;
case CURLFILETYPE_FILE:
printf("FILE ");
break;
default:
printf("OTHER\n");
break;
}
if(finfo->filetype == CURLFILETYPE_FILE) {
/* do not transfer files >= 50B */
if(finfo->size > 50) {
printf("SKIPPED\n");
return CURL_CHUNK_BGN_FUNC_SKIP;
}
data->output = fopen(finfo->filename, "wb");
if(!data->output) {
return CURL_CHUNK_BGN_FUNC_FAIL;
}
}
return CURL_CHUNK_BGN_FUNC_OK;
}
int main()
{
/* data for callback */
struct callback_data callback_info;
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
/* callback is called before download of concrete file started */
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_CHUNK_BGN_FUNCTION, file_is_coming);
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_CHUNK_DATA, &callback_info);
