CURLOPT_NOPROGRESS(3) Library Functions Manual CURLOPT_NOPROGRESS(3)
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 CUR-
LOPT_XFERINFOFUNCTION(3) or CURLOPT_PROGRESSFUNCTION(3) from getting
called.
DEFAULT
1, meaning it normally runs without a progress meter.

CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com");

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