# NAME
|
|
|
|
CURLOPT_DIRLISTONLY - ask for names only in a directory listing
|
|
|
|
# SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
~~~c
|
|
#include <curl/curl.h>
|
|
|
|
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_DIRLISTONLY, long listonly);
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
# DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
For FTP and SFTP based URLs a parameter set to 1 tells the library to list the
|
|
names of files in a directory, rather than performing a full directory listing
|
|
that would normally include file sizes, dates etc.
|
|
|
|
For POP3 a parameter of 1 tells the library to list the email message or
|
|
messages on the POP3 server. This can be used to change the default behavior
|
|
of libcurl, when combined with a URL that contains a message ID, to perform a
|
|
"scan listing" which can then be used to determine the size of an email.
|
|
|
|
Note: For FTP this causes a NLST command to be sent to the FTP server. Beware
|
|
that some FTP servers list only files in their response to NLST; they might
|
|
not include subdirectories and symbolic links.
|
|
|
|
Setting this option to 1 also implies a directory listing even if the URL
|
|
does not end with a slash, which otherwise is necessary.
|
|
|
|
Do not use this option if you also use CURLOPT_WILDCARDMATCH(3) as it
|
|
effectively breaks that feature.
|
