It makes libcurl uses a larger buffer that gets passed to 32 the next layer in the stack to get sent off. In some setups and for some 33 protocols, there is a huge performance benefit of having a larger upload 34 buffer. 35 36 This is just treated as a request, not an order. You cannot be guaranteed to 37 actually get the given size. 38 39 The upload buffer size is by default 64 kilobytes. The maximum buffer size 40 allowed to be set is 2 megabytes. The minimum buffer size allowed to be set is 41 16 kilobytes. 42 43 The upload buffer is allocated on-demand - so if the handle is not used for 44 upload, this buffer is not allocated at all. 45 46 DO NOT set this option on a handle that is currently used for an active 47 transfer as that may lead to unintended consequences. 48 49 # DEFAULT 50 51 65536 bytes 52 53 # %PROTOCOLS% 54 55 # EXAMPLE 56 57 ~~~c 58 int main(void) 59 { 60 CURL *curl = curl_easy_init(); 61 if(curl) { 62 CURLcode res; 63 curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "sftp://example.com/foo.bin"); 64 65 /* ask libcurl to allocate a larger upload buffer */ 66 curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_UPLOAD_BUFFERSIZE, 120000L); 67 68 res = curl_easy_perform(curl); 69 70 curl_easy_cleanup(curl); 71 } 72 } 73 ~~~ 74 75 # %AVAILABILITY% 76 77 # RETURN VALUE 78 79 curl_easy_setopt(3) returns a CURLcode indicating success or error. 80 81 CURLE_OK (0) means everything was OK, non-zero means an error occurred, see 82 libcurl-errors(3).
