EXAMPLE

#include <stdio.h>

struct callback_data {
FILE *output;
};

static long file_is_coming(struct curl_fileinfo *finfo,
void *ptr,
int remains)
{
struct callback_data *data = ptr;
printf("%3d %40s %10luB ", remains, finfo->filename,
(unsigned long)finfo->size);

switch(finfo->filetype) {
case CURLFILETYPE_DIRECTORY:
printf(" DIR\n");
break;
case CURLFILETYPE_FILE:
printf("FILE ");
break;
default:
printf("OTHER\n");

if(finfo->filetype == CURLFILETYPE_FILE) {
/* do not transfer files >= 50B */
if(finfo->size > 50) {
printf("SKIPPED\n");
return CURL_CHUNK_BGN_FUNC_SKIP;

data->output = fopen(finfo->filename, "wb");
if(!data->output) {
return CURL_CHUNK_BGN_FUNC_FAIL;

int main()
{
