+.TH CURLOPT_RESUME_FROM_LARGE 3 "17 Jun 2014" "libcurl 7.37.0" "curl_easy_setopt options"
+.SH NAME
+CURLOPT_RESUME_FROM_LARGE \- set a point to resume transfer from
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.nf
+#include <curl/curl.h>
+
+CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_RESUME_FROM_LARGE,
+ curl_off_t from);
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+Pass a curl_off_t 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 local/source
+file libcurl should try to resume the upload from and it will then append the
+source file to the remote target file.
+.SH DEFAULT
+0, not used
+.SH PROTOCOLS
+HTTP, FTP, SFTP, FILE
+.SH EXAMPLE
+.nf
+CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
+if(curl) {
+ curl_off_t resume_position = GET_IT_SOMEHOW;
+ curl_off_t file_size = GET_IT_SOMEHOW_AS_WELL;
+
+ curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "ftp://example.com");
+
+ /* resuming upload at this position, possibly beyond 2GB */
+ curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_RESUME_FROM_LARGE, resume_position);
+
+ /* ask for upload */
+ curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_UPLOAD, 1L);
+
+ /* set total data amount to expect */
+ curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_INFILESIZE_LARGE, file_size);
+
+ /* Perform the request */
+ curl_easy_perform(curl);
+}
+.fi
+.SH AVAILABILITY
