NAME

CURLOPT_NOPROGRESS - switch off the progress meter

SYNOPSIS

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 will also prevent the CURLOPT_PROGRESSFUNCTION(3) from getting called.

Future versions of libcurl are likely to not have any built-in progress meter at all.

DEFAULT

1, meaning it normally runs without a progress meter.

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