CURLOPT_NOPROGRESS(3) Introduction to Library Functions

NAME

CURLOPT_NOPROGRESS - switch off the progress meter

SYNOPSIS

#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_NOPROGRESS, long onoff);

DESCRIPTION

If onoff is to 1, it tells the library to shut off the progress meter
completely for requests done with this handle. It also prevents the
CURLOPT_XFERINFOFUNCTION(3) or CURLOPT_PROGRESSFUNCTION(3) from
getting called.

DEFAULT

1, meaning it normally runs without a progress meter.

/* Perform the request */
curl_easy_perform(curl);
}
}
