CURLINFO_SIZE_DOWNLOAD_T(3)                           Library Functions Manual


NAME

       CURLINFO_SIZE_DOWNLOAD_T - get the number of downloaded bytes


SYNOPSIS

       #include <curl/curl.h>

       CURLcode curl_easy_getinfo(CURL *handle, CURLINFO_SIZE_DOWNLOAD_T,
                                  curl_off_t *dlp);


DESCRIPTION

       Pass a pointer to a curl_off_t to receive the total amount of bytes
       that were downloaded. The amount is only for the latest transfer and
       gets reset again for each new transfer. This counts actual payload
       data, what's also commonly called body. All meta and header data is
       excluded from this amount.

       int main(void)

           curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com");

           /* Perform the request */
           res = curl_easy_perform(curl);

           if(!res) {
             /* check the size */
             curl_off_t dl;
             res = curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_SIZE_DOWNLOAD_T, &dl);
             if(!res) {
               printf("Downloaded %" CURL_FORMAT_CURL_OFF_T " bytes\n", dl);
