If \fIonoff\fP is to 1, it tells the library to shut off the progress meter

getting called.

1, meaning it normally runs without a progress meter.
.SH PROTOCOLS
This functionality affects all supported protocols

int main(void)
{
  CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();

    /* enable progress meter */
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_NOPROGRESS, 0L);

    /* Perform the request */
    result = curl_easy_perform(curl);
    curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
  }
}
