Specify the maximum size (in bytes) of a file to download. If the file
|
||
|
requested is larger than this value, the transfer does not start and curl
|
||
|
returns with exit code 63.
|
||
|
|
||
|
A size modifier may be used. For example, Appending 'k' or 'K' counts the
|
||
|
number as kilobytes, 'm' or 'M' makes it megabytes, while 'g' or 'G' makes it
|
||
|
gigabytes. Examples: 200K, 3m and 1G. (Added in 7.58.0)
|
||
|
|
||
|
**NOTE**: The file size is not always known prior to download, and for such
|
||
|
files this option has no effect even if the file transfer ends up being larger
|
||
|
than this given limit.
