+.SH NAME
+CURLOPT_CHUNK_BGN_FUNCTION \- callback before a transfer with FTP wildcardmatch
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.nf
+#include <gnurl/curl.h>
+
+struct curl_fileinfo {
+ char *filename;
+ curlfiletype filetype;
+ time_t time; /* always zero! */
+ unsigned int perm;

+ curl_off_t size;
+ long int hardlinks;
+

+ /* If some of these fields is not NULL, it is a pointer to b_data. */
+ char *time;
+ char *perm;
+ char *user;
+ char *group;
+ char *target; /* pointer to the target filename of a symlink */
+ } strings;
+
+ unsigned int flags;

+ char *b_data;
+ size_t b_size;
+ size_t b_used;
+};
+
+long chunk_bgn_callback(const void *transfer_info, void *ptr,
+ int remains);
+
+CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_CHUNK_BGN_FUNCTION,
+ chunk_bgn_callback);
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+Pass a pointer to your callback function, which should match the prototype
+shown above.
+
+This callback function gets called by libcurl before a part of the stream is
+going to be transferred (if the transfer supports chunks).
+
+The \fItransfer_info\fP pointer will point to a struct curl_fileinfo with
+details about the file that is about to get transferred.
+
+This callback makes sense only when using the \fICURLOPT_WILDCARDMATCH(3)\fP
+option for now.
+
+The target of transfer_info parameter is a "feature depended" structure. For
+the FTP wildcard download, the target is curl_fileinfo structure (see
+\fIgnurl/curl.h\fP). The parameter \fIptr\fP is a pointer given by
+\fICURLOPT_CHUNK_DATA(3)\fP. The parameter remains contains number of chunks
+remaining per the transfer. If the feature is not available, the parameter has
+zero value.
+
+Return \fICURL_CHUNK_BGN_FUNC_OK\fP if everything is fine,
+\fICURL_CHUNK_BGN_FUNC_SKIP\fP if you want to skip the concrete chunk or
+\fICURL_CHUNK_BGN_FUNC_FAIL\fP to tell libcurl to stop if some error occurred.
