+Long: max-filesize
+Arg: <bytes>
+Help: Maximum file size to download
+See-also: limit-rate
+---
+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.
+
+\fBNOTE:\fP 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. This concerns both FTP and HTTP transfers.
