.TH CURLOPT_BUFFERSIZE 3 "17 Jun 2014" libcurl libcurl
|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
CURLOPT_BUFFERSIZE \- receive buffer size
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.nf
|
|
#include <curl/curl.h>
|
|
|
|
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_BUFFERSIZE, long size);
|
|
.fi
|
|
.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. Secondly, for some protocols,
|
|
there is a benefit of having a larger buffer for performance.
|
|
|
|
This is just treated as a request, not an order. You cannot be guaranteed to
|
|
actually get the given size.
|
|
|
|
This buffer size is by default \fICURL_MAX_WRITE_SIZE\fP (16kB). The maximum
|
|
buffer size allowed to be set is \fICURL_MAX_READ_SIZE\fP (10MB). The minimum
|
|
buffer size allowed to be set is 1024.
|
|
|
|
DO NOT set this option on a handle that is currently used for an active
|
|
transfer as that may lead to unintended consequences.
|
|
|
|
The maximum size was 512kB until 7.88.0.
|
|
.SH DEFAULT
|
|
CURL_MAX_WRITE_SIZE (16kB)
|
|

|
|
|
|
/* ask libcurl to allocate a larger receive buffer */
|
|
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_BUFFERSIZE, 120000L);
|
|
|
|
ret = curl_easy_perform(curl);
