CURLOPT_RESUME_FROM_LARGE(3curl_easy_setopt optionCURLOPT_RESUME_FROM_LARGE(3)
NAME
CURLOPT_RESUME_FROM_LARGE - set a point to resume transfer
from
SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_RESUME_FROM_LARGE,
curl_off_t from);
DESCRIPTION
Pass a curl_off_t as parameter. It contains the offset in
number of bytes that you want the transfer to start from.
Set this option to 0 to make the transfer start from the
beginning (effectively disabling resume). For FTP, set this
option to -1 to make the transfer start from the end of the
target file (useful to continue an interrupted upload).
When doing uploads with FTP, the resume position is where in
the local/source file libcurl should try to resume the
upload from and it will then append the source file to the
remote target file.
DEFAULT
0, not used
PROTOCOLS
HTTP, FTP, SFTP, FILE
EXAMPLE
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
curl_off_t resume_position = GET_IT_SOMEHOW;
curl_off_t file_size = GET_IT_SOMEHOW_AS_WELL;
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "ftp://example.com");
/* resuming upload at this position, possibly beyond 2GB */
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_RESUME_FROM_LARGE, resume_position);
/* ask for upload */
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_UPLOAD, 1L);
/* set total data amount to expect */
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_INFILESIZE_LARGE, file_size);
/* Perform the request */
curl_easy_perform(curl);
}
