+.TH CURLOPT_RANGE 3 "17 Jun 2014" "libcurl 7.37.0" "curl_easy_setopt options"
+.SH NAME
+CURLOPT_RANGE \- set byte range to request
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+#include <curl/curl.h>
+
+CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_RANGE, char *range);
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+Pass a char * as parameter, which should contain the specified range you want
+to retrieve. It should be in the format "X-Y", where either X or Y may be left
+out and X and Y are byte indexes.
+
+HTTP transfers also support several intervals, separated with commas as in
+\fI"X-Y,N-M"\fP. Using this kind of multiple intervals will cause the HTTP
+server to send the response document in pieces (using standard MIME separation
+techniques). Unfortunately, the HTTP standard (RFC 7233 section 3.1) allows
+servers to ignore range requests so even when you set \fICURLOPT_RANGE(3)\fP
+for a request, you may end up getting the full response sent back.
+
+For RTSP, the formatting of a range should follow RFC2326 Section 12.29. For
+RTSP, byte ranges are \fBnot\fP permitted. Instead, ranges should be given in
+npt, utc, or smpte formats.
+
+For HTTP PUT uploads this option should not be used, since it may conflict with
+other options. If you need to upload arbitrary parts of a file (like for
+Amazon's web services) support is limited. We suggest set resume position using
+\fICURLOPT_RESUME_FROM(3)\fP, set end (resume+size) position using
+\fICURLOPT_INFILESIZE(3)\fP and seek to the resume position before initiating
+the transfer for each part. For more information refer to
+https://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2019-05/0012.html
+
+Pass a NULL to this option to disable the use of ranges.
+
+The application does not have to keep the string around after setting this
+option.
+.SH DEFAULT
+NULL
+.SH PROTOCOLS
+HTTP, FTP, FILE, RTSP and SFTP.
+.SH EXAMPLE
+.nf
+CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
+if(curl) {
+  curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "http://example.com");
+
+  /* get the first 200 bytes */
+  curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_RANGE, "0-199");
+
+  /* Perform the request */
+  curl_easy_perform(curl);
+}
+.fi
+.SH AVAILABILITY
+FILE since 7.18.0, RTSP since 7.20.0
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+Returns CURLE_OK on success or
+CURLE_OUT_OF_MEMORY if there was insufficient heap space.
