        !            31: .SH DESCRIPTION
        !            32: Pass a long as parameter. This allows you to specify the maximum \fIsize\fP
        !            33: (in bytes) of a file to download. If the file requested is found larger than
        !            34: this value, the transfer will not start and \fICURLE_FILESIZE_EXCEEDED\fP will
        !            35: be returned.
        !            36: 
        !            37: The file size is not always known prior to download, and for such files this
        !            38: option has no effect even if the file transfer ends up being larger than this
        !            39: given limit. This concerns both FTP and HTTP transfers.
        !            40: 
        !            41: If you want a limit above 2GB, use \fICURLOPT_MAXFILESIZE_LARGE(3)\fP.
