Since "too old" versions are no longer included in the generated man page, this field is now mandatory so that it won't be forgotten and then not included in the documentation. Closes #7786

Specify the maximum size (in bytes) of a file to download. If the file
|
|
requested is larger than this value, the transfer will not start and curl will
|
|
return with exit code 63.
|
|
|
|
A size modifier may be used. For example, Appending 'k' or 'K' will count 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**: The file size is not always known prior to download, and for such
|
|
files this option has no effect even if the file transfer ends up being larger
|
|
than this given limit. |
