  23. .TH CURLOPT_RANGE 3 "17 Jun 2014" "libcurl 7.37.0" "curl_easy_setopt options"
  24. .SH NAME
  25. CURLOPT_RANGE \- set byte range to request
  26. .SH SYNOPSIS
  27. #include <curl/curl.h>
  28. CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_RANGE, char *range);
  29. .SH DESCRIPTION
  30. Pass a char * as parameter, which should contain the specified range you want
  31. to retrieve. It should be in the format "X-Y", where either X or Y may be left
  32. out and X and Y are byte indexes.
  33. HTTP transfers also support several intervals, separated with commas as in
  34. \fI"X-Y,N-M"\fP. Using this kind of multiple intervals will cause the HTTP
  35. server to send the response document in pieces (using standard MIME separation
  36. techniques). For RTSP, the formatting of a range should follow RFC2326 Section
  37. 12.29. For RTSP, byte ranges are \fBnot\fP permitted. Instead, ranges should
  38. be given in npt, utc, or smpte formats.
  39. Pass a NULL to this option to disable the use of ranges.
  40. .SH DEFAULT
