+Data \fIpointer\fP to pass to the file read function. If you use the

+.TH CURLOPT_READFUNCTION 3 "16 Jun 2014" "libcurl 7.37.0" "curl_easy_setopt options"
+.SH NAME
+CURLOPT_READFUNCTION \- [short desc]
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+#include <curl/curl.h>
+
+size_t read_callback(char *buffer, size_t size, size_t nitems, void *instream);
+
+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. The data area pointed at by the pointer
+\fIbuffer\fP should be filled up with at most \fIsize\fP multiplied with
+\fInmemb\fP number of bytes by your function.
+
+Your function must then return the actual number of bytes that it stored in
+that memory area. 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
+Here's an example setting a read callback for reading that to upload to an FTP
+site: http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/ftpupload.html
+.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.

+.TH CURLOPT_WRITEDATA 3 "16 Jun 2014" "libcurl 7.37.0" "curl_easy_setopt options"
+.SH NAME
+CURLOPT_WRITEDATA \- custom pointer passed to the write callback
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+#include <curl/curl.h>
+
+CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_WRITEDATA, void *pointer);
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+A data \fIpointer\fP to pass to the write callback. If you use the
+\fICURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION(3)\fP option, this is the pointer you'll get in that
+callback's 4th argument. If you don't use a write callback, you must make
+\fIpointer\fP a 'FILE *' (cast to 'void *') as libcurl will pass this to
+\fIfwrite(3)\fP when writing data.
+
+The internal \fICURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION(3)\fP will write the data to the FILE *
+given with this option, or to stdout if this option hasn't been set.
+
+If you're using libcurl as a win32 DLL, you \fBMUST\fP use the
+\fICURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION\fP if you set this option or you will experience
+crashes.
+
+This option is also known with the older name \fICURLOPT_FILE\fP, the name
+\fICURLOPT_WRITEDATA\fP was introduced in 7.9.7.
+.SH DEFAULT
+By default, this is a FILE * to stdout.
+.SH PROTOCOLS
+Used for all protocols.
+.SH EXAMPLE
+A common technique is to use the write callback to store the incoming data
+into a dynamically growing allocated buffer, and then this CURLOPT_WRITEDATA
+is used to point to a struct or the buffer to store data in. Like in the
+getinmemory example: http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/getinmemory.html
+.SH AVAILABILITY
+Available in all libcurl versions
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+This will return CURLE_OK.
