  23. .TH CURLOPT_XFERINFOFUNCTION 3 "February 03, 2016" "libcurl 7.61.1" "curl_easy_setopt options"
  24. .SH NAME
  25. CURLOPT_XFERINFOFUNCTION \- callback to progress meter function
  26. .SH SYNOPSIS
  27. #include <curl/curl.h>
  28. int progress_callback(void *clientp,
  29. curl_off_t dltotal,
  30. curl_off_t dlnow,
  31. curl_off_t ultotal,
  32. curl_off_t ulnow);
  33. CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_XFERINFOFUNCTION, progress_callback);
  34. .SH DESCRIPTION
  35. Pass a pointer to your callback function, which should match the prototype
  36. shown above.
  37. This function gets called by libcurl instead of its internal equivalent with a
  38. frequent interval. While data is being transferred it will be called very
  39. frequently, and during slow periods like when nothing is being transferred it
  40. can slow down to about one call per second.
  41. \fIclientp\fP is the pointer set with \fICURLOPT_XFERINFODATA(3)\fP, it is not
  42. used by libcurl but is only passed along from the application to the callback.
  43. The callback gets told how much data libcurl will transfer and has
  44. transferred, in number of bytes. \fIdltotal\fP is the total number of bytes
  45. libcurl expects to download in this transfer. \fIdlnow\fP is the number of
  46. bytes downloaded so far. \fIultotal\fP is the total number of bytes libcurl
  47. expects to upload in this transfer. \fIulnow\fP is the number of bytes
  48. uploaded so far.
  49. Unknown/unused argument values passed to the callback will be set to zero
  50. (like if you only download data, the upload size will remain 0). Many times
  51. the callback will be called one or more times first, before it knows the data
  52. sizes so a program must be made to handle that.
  53. Returning a non-zero value from this callback will cause libcurl to abort the
  54. transfer and return \fICURLE_ABORTED_BY_CALLBACK\fP.
  55. If you transfer data with the multi interface, this function will not be
  56. called during periods of idleness unless you call the appropriate libcurl
  57. function that performs transfers.
  58. \fICURLOPT_NOPROGRESS(3)\fP must be set to 0 to make this function actually
  59. get called.
  60. .SH DEFAULT
  61. By default, libcurl has an internal progress meter. That's rarely wanted by
  62. users.
  63. .SH PROTOCOLS
  64. All
  65. .SH EXAMPLE
  66. https://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/progressfunc.html
  67. .SH AVAILABILITY
  68. Added in 7.32.0. This callback replaces \fICURLOPT_PROGRESSFUNCTION(3)\fP
  69. .SH RETURN VALUE
  70. Returns CURLE_OK.
