+.TH CURLOPT_READFUNCTION 3 "16 Jun 2014" "libcurl 7.37.0" "curl_easy_setopt options"
+.SH NAME
+CURLOPT_READFUNCTION \- read callback for data uploads
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+#include <curl/curl.h>
+
+size_t read_callback(char *buffer, size_t size, size_t nitems, void *userdata);
+
+CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_READFUNCTION, read_callback);
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+Pass a pointer to your callback function, as the prototype shows above.
+
+This callback function gets called by libcurl as soon as it needs to read data
+in order to send it to the peer - like if you ask it to upload or post data to
+the server. The data area pointed at by the pointer \fIbuffer\fP should be
+filled up with at most \fIsize\fP multiplied with \fInitems\fP number of bytes
+by your function.
+
+Set the \fIuserdata\fP argument with the \fICURLOPT_READDATA(3)\fP option.
+
+Your function must return the actual number of bytes that it stored in the data
+area pointed at by the pointer \fIbuffer\fP. Returning 0 will signal
+end-of-file to the library and cause it to stop the current transfer.
+
+If you stop the current transfer by returning 0 "pre-maturely" (i.e before the
+server expected it, like when you've said you will upload N bytes and you
+upload less than N bytes), you may experience that the server "hangs" waiting
+for the rest of the data that won't come.
+
+The read callback may return \fICURL_READFUNC_ABORT\fP to stop the current
+operation immediately, resulting in a \fICURLE_ABORTED_BY_CALLBACK\fP error
+code from the transfer.
+
+The callback can return \fICURL_READFUNC_PAUSE\fP to cause reading from this
+connection to pause. See \fIcurl_easy_pause(3)\fP for further details.
+
+\fBBugs\fP: when doing TFTP uploads, you must return the exact amount of data
+that the callback wants, or it will be considered the final packet by the
+server end and the transfer will end there.
+
+If you set this callback pointer to NULL, or don't set it at all, the default
+internal read function will be used. It is doing an fread() on the FILE *
+userdata set with \fICURLOPT_READDATA(3)\fP.
+.SH DEFAULT
+The default internal read callback is fread().
+.SH PROTOCOLS
+This is used for all protocols when doing uploads.
+.SH EXAMPLE
+.nf
+size_t read_callback(void *ptr, size_t size, size_t nmemb, void *userdata)
+{
+  FILE *readhere = (FILE *)userdata;
+  curl_off_t nread;
+
+  /* copy as much data as possible into the 'ptr' buffer, but no more than
+     'size' * 'nmemb' bytes! */
+  size_t retcode = fread(ptr, size, nmemb, readhere);
+
+  nread = (curl_off_t)retcode;
+
+  fprintf(stderr, "*** We read %" CURL_FORMAT_CURL_OFF_T
+          " bytes from file\\n", nread);
+  return retcode;
+}
+
+void setup(char *uploadthis)
+{
+  FILE *file = fopen("rb", uploadthis);
+  CURLcode result;
+
+  /* set callback to use */
+  curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_READFUNCTION, read_callback);
+
+  /* pass in suitable argument to callback */
+  curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_READDATA, uploadthis);
+
+  result = curl_easy_perform(curl);
+}
+.fi
+.SH AVAILABILITY
+CURL_READFUNC_PAUSE return code was added in 7.18.0 and CURL_READFUNC_ABORT
+was added in 7.12.1.
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+This will return CURLE_OK.
