This can be used to change the default behaviour +of libcurl, when combined with a URL that contains a message ID, to perform a +"scan listing" which can then be used to determine the size of an email. + +Note: For FTP this causes a NLST command to be sent to the FTP server. Beware +that some FTP servers list only files in their response to NLST; they might not +include subdirectories and symbolic links. + +Setting this option to 1 also implies a directory listing even if the URL +doesn't end with a slash, which otherwise is necessary. + +Do NOT use this option if you also use \fICURLOPT_WILDCARDMATCH(3)\fP as it +will effectively break that feature then. +.SH DEFAULT +0, disabled +.SH PROTOCOLS +FTP, SFTP and POP3 +.SH EXAMPLE +.nf +CURL *curl = curl_easy_init(); +if(curl) { + curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "ftp://example.com/dir/"); + + /* list only */ + curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_DIRLISTONLY, 1L); + + ret = curl_easy_perform(curl); + + curl_easy_cleanup(curl); +} +.fi +.SH AVAILABILITY +This option was known as CURLOPT_FTPLISTONLY up to 7.16.4.
