.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. Secondly, for some protocols,
there's a benefit of having a larger buffer for performance.
2016-09-16 04:29:17 +00:00
2017-03-02 22:46:25 +00:00
This is just treated as a request, not an order. You cannot be guaranteed to
actually get the given size.
This buffer size is by default \fICURL_MAX_WRITE_SIZE\fP (16kB). The maximum
buffer size allowed to set is \fICURL_MAX_READ_SIZE\fP (512kB).
