- switch all invidual files documenting command line options into .md, as the documentation is now markdown-looking. - made the parser treat 4-space indents as quotes - switch to building the curl.1 manpage using the "mainpage.idx" file, which lists the files to include to generate it, instead of using the previous page-footer/headers. Also, those files are now also .md ones, using the same format. I gave them underscore prefixes to make them sort separately: _NAME.md, _SYNOPSIS.md, _DESCRIPTION.md, _URL.md, _GLOBBING.md, _VARIABLES.md, _OUTPUT.md, _PROTOCOLS.md, _PROGRESS.md, _VERSION.md, _OPTIONS.md, _FILES.md, _ENVIRONMENT.md, _PROXYPREFIX.md, _EXITCODES.md, _BUGS.md, _AUTHORS.md, _WWW.md, _SEEALSO.md - updated test cases accordingly Closes #12751

# `--max-filesize`
|
|
|
|
Specify the maximum size (in bytes) of a file to download. If the file
|
|
requested is larger than this value, the transfer does not start and curl
|
|
returns with exit code 63.
|
|
|
|
A size modifier may be used. For example, Appending 'k' or 'K' counts the
|
|
number as kilobytes, 'm' or 'M' makes it megabytes, while 'g' or 'G' makes it
|
|
gigabytes. Examples: 200K, 3m and 1G. (Added in 7.58.0)
|
|
|
|
**NOTE**: before curl 8.4.0, when the file size is not known prior to
|
|
download, for such files this option has no effect even if the file transfer
|
|
ends up being larger than this given limit.
|
|
|
|
Starting with curl 8.4.0, this option aborts the transfer if it reaches the
|
|
threshold during transfer.
