The keyword specifies how option works when specified multiple times: - single: the last provided value replaces the earlier ones - append: it supports being provided multiple times - boolean: on/off values - mutex: flag-like option that disable anoter flag The 'gen.pl' script then outputs the proper and unified language for each option's multi-use behavior in the generated man page. The multi: header is requires in each .d file and will cause build error if missing or set to an unknown value. Closes #9759

Specify the maximum size (in bytes) of a file to download. If the file
|
|
requested is larger than this value, the transfer will not start and curl will
|
|
return with exit code 63.
|
|
|
|
A size modifier may be used. For example, Appending 'k' or 'K' will count the
|
|
number as kilobytes, 'm' or 'M' makes it megabytes, while 'g' or 'G' makes it
|
|
gigabytes. Examples: 200K, 3m and 1G. (Added in 7.58.0)
|
|
|
|
**NOTE**: The file size is not always known prior to download, and for such
|
|
files this option has no effect even if the file transfer ends up being larger
|
|
than this given limit. |
