                     26: CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS \- maximum number of redirects allowed
                     27: .SH SYNOPSIS
                     28: #include <curl/curl.h>
                     29:

                     31: .SH DESCRIPTION
                     32: Pass a long. The set number will be the redirection limit \fIamount\fP. If
                     33: that many redirections have been followed, the next redirect will cause an
                     34: error (\fICURLE_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS\fP). This option only makes sense if the
                     35: \fICURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION(3)\fP is used at the same time.
                     36: 
                     37: Setting the limit to 0 will make libcurl refuse any redirect.
                     38: 
                     39: Set it to -1 for an infinite number of redirects.
