CURLOPT_RESUME_FROM(3)	    Library Functions Manual	  CURLOPT_RESUME_FROM(3)

NAME
     CURLOPT_RESUME_FROM - offset to resume transfer from

SYNOPSIS
     #include <curl/curl.h>

     CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_RESUME_FROM, long from);

DESCRIPTION
     Pass  a  long  as parameter. It contains the offset in number of bytes that
     you want the transfer to start from. Set this  option  to	0  to  make  the
     transfer  start from the beginning (effectively disabling resume). For FTP,
     set this option to -1 to make the transfer start from the end of the target
     file (useful to continue an interrupted upload).

     When doing uploads with FTP, the  resume  position  is  where  in	the  lo-
     cal/source  file  libcurl	should try to resume the upload from and it then
     appends the source file to the remote target file.

     If you need to resume a transfer beyond  the  2GB	limit,	use  CURLOPT_RE-
     SUME_FROM_LARGE(3) instead.

DEFAULT
     0, not used

PROTOCOLS
     This functionality affects all supported protocols

EXAMPLE
     int main(void)
     {
       CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
       if(curl) {
	 CURLcode result;
	 long size_of_file = 6789;

	 curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "ftp://example.com");

	 /* resume upload at byte index 200 */
	 curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_RESUME_FROM, 200L);

	 /* ask for upload */
	 curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_UPLOAD, 1L);

	 /* set total data amount to expect */
	 curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_INFILESIZE, size_of_file);

	 /* Perform the request */
	 result = curl_easy_perform(curl);
	 curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
       }
     }

AVAILABILITY
     Added in curl 7.1
