.TH CURLOPT_NOBODY 3 "June 21, 2017" "libcurl 7.61.1" "curl_easy_setopt options"

.SH NAME
CURLOPT_NOBODY \- do the download request without getting the body
.SH SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_NOBODY, long opt);
.SH DESCRIPTION
A long parameter set to 1 tells libcurl to not include the body-part in the
output when doing what would otherwise be a download. For HTTP(S), this makes
libcurl do a HEAD request. For most other protocols it means just not asking
to transfer the body data.

Enabling this option means asking for a download but without a body.
.SH DEFAULT
0, the body is transferred

curl = curl_easy_init();

  /* Perform the request */
