CURLINFO_CONTENT_LENGTH_DOWNLOAD(3)

NAME

SYNOPSIS

#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_easy_getinfo(CURL *handle, CURLINFO_CONTENT_LENGTH_DOWNLOAD,
double *content_length);

res = curl_easy_perform(curl);

if(!res) {
/* check the size */
double cl;
res = curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_CONTENT_LENGTH_DOWNLOAD, &cl);

printf("Size: %.0f\n", cl);
