+.TH CURLOPT_BUFFERSIZE 3 "17 Jun 2014" "libcurl 7.37.0" "curl_easy_setopt options"
+.SH NAME
+CURLOPT_BUFFERSIZE \- set preferred receive buffer size
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+#include <curl/curl.h>
+
+CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_BUFFERSIZE, long size);
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+Pass a long specifying your preferred \fIsize\fP (in bytes) for the receive
+buffer in libcurl. The main point of this would be that the write callback
+gets called more often and with smaller chunks. This is just treated as a
+request, not an order. You cannot be guaranteed to actually get the given
+size.
+
+This size is by default set as big as possible (\fICURL_MAX_WRITE_SIZE\fP), so
+it only makes sense to use this option if you want it smaller.
+.SH DEFAULT
+CURL_MAX_WRITE_SIZE
+.SH PROTOCOLS
+All
+.SH EXAMPLE
+TODO
+.SH AVAILABILITY
+Added in 7.10
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+Returns CURLE_OK if the option is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not.
