.TH CURLOPT_CHUNK_BGN_FUNCTION 3 "19 Jun 2014" libcurl libcurl
.SH NAME
CURLOPT_CHUNK_BGN_FUNCTION \- callback before a transfer with FTP wildcard match
.SH SYNOPSIS
.nf
#include <curl/curl.h>

struct curl_fileinfo {
  char *filename;
  curlfiletype filetype;
  time_t time;   /* always zero! */
  unsigned int perm;
  int uid;
  int gid;
  curl_off_t size;
  long int hardlinks;

  struct {
    /* If some of these fields is not NULL, it is a pointer to b_data. */
    char *time;
    char *perm;
    char *user;
    char *group;
    char *target; /* pointer to the target filename of a symlink */
  } strings;

  unsigned int flags;

  /* used internally */
  char *b_data;
  size_t b_size;
  size_t b_used;
};

long chunk_bgn_callback(const void *transfer_info, void *ptr,
                        int remains);

CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_CHUNK_BGN_FUNCTION,
                          chunk_bgn_callback);
.SH 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 \fItransfer_info\fP pointer points to a \fBcurl_fileinfo\fP struct with
details about the file that is about to get transferred.

This callback makes sense only when using the \fICURLOPT_WILDCARDMATCH(3)\fP
option for now.

The target of transfer_info parameter is a "feature depended" structure. For
the FTP wildcard download, the target is \fBcurl_fileinfo\fP structure (see
\fIcurl/curl.h\fP).  The parameter \fIptr\fP is a pointer given by
\fICURLOPT_CHUNK_DATA(3)\fP. The parameter remains contains number of chunks
remaining per the transfer. If the feature is not available, the parameter has
zero value.

Return \fICURL_CHUNK_BGN_FUNC_OK\fP if everything is fine,
\fICURL_CHUNK_BGN_FUNC_SKIP\fP if you want to skip the concrete chunk or
\fICURL_CHUNK_BGN_FUNC_FAIL\fP to tell libcurl to stop if some error occurred.
