 .B CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION
 Function pointer that should match the following prototype: \fBsize_t
 function( void *ptr, size_t size, size_t nmemb, void *stream);\fP This
-function gets called by libcurl as soon as there is data available to pass
-available that needs to be saved. The size of the data pointed to by \fIptr\fP
-is \fIsize\fP multiplied with \fInmemb\fP.  Return the number of bytes
-actually taken care of. If that amount differs from the amount passed to your
-function, it'll signal an error to the library and it will abort the transfer
-and return \fICURLE_WRITE_ERROR\fP.
