NAME

6       CURLINFO_SIZE_DOWNLOAD - get the number of downloaded bytes

SYNOPSIS

9       #include <curl/curl.h>
10
11       CURLcode curl_easy_getinfo(CURL *handle, CURLINFO_SIZE_DOWNLOAD, double
12       *dlp);
13

DESCRIPTION

15       Pass a pointer to a double to receive the total amount  of  bytes  that
16       were  downloaded.   The amount is only for the latest transfer and will
17       be reset again for each new transfer. This counts actual payload  data,
18       what's also commonly called body. All meta and header data are excluded
19       and will not be counted in this number.
20
21       CURLINFO_SIZE_DOWNLOAD_T(3) is a newer replacement that returns a  more
22       sensible variable type.
