Specify the maximum size (in bytes) of a file to download. If the file
|
|
|
|
|
requested is larger than this value, the transfer will not start and curl will
|
|
|
|
|
return with exit code 63.

A size modifier may be used. For example, Appending 'k' or 'K' will count 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)
