- Specify the maximum size (in bytes) of a file to download. If the file
- requested is larger than this value, the transfer will not start and curl will
- return with exit code 63.
- A size modifier may be used. For example, Appending 'k' or 'K' will count the
- number as kilobytes, 'm' or 'M' makes it megabytes, while 'g' or 'G' makes it
- gigabytes. Examples: 200K, 3m and 1G. (Added in 7.58.0)
- **NOTE**: The file size is not always known prior to download, and for such
- files this option has no effect even if the file transfer ends up being larger
- than this given limit.
