.TH CURLOPT_BUFFERSIZE 3 "17 Jun 2014" "libcurl 7.37.0" "curl_easy_setopt options"
.SH NAME
CURLOPT_BUFFERSIZE \- set preferred receive buffer size
.SH SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_BUFFERSIZE, long size);
.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. This is just treated as a
request, not an order. You cannot be guaranteed to actually get the given
size.
This size is by default set as big as possible (\fICURL_MAX_WRITE_SIZE\fP), so
it only makes sense to use this option if you want it smaller.
.SH DEFAULT
CURL_MAX_WRITE_SIZE
.SH PROTOCOLS
All
.SH EXAMPLE
TODO
.SH AVAILABILITY
Added in 7.10
.SH RETURN VALUE
Returns CURLE_OK if the option is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not.
