question regarding CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION & CURLOPT_WRITEDATA

hello,

i just want to know if i understand those two functions properly:

WRITEFUNCTION gets chunks of data with a maximum size of
CURL_MAX_WRITE_SIZE, ptr points to the data of those chunks.

WRITEDATA "collects" all those chunks and writes them to one file.

is this assumption correct?

if yes, i have a question:
as i read in curl.h it is not wise to change CURL_MAX_WRITE_SIZE to a bigger
value then 16k.
but what should i do if i want just one pointer pointing to the whole data
of the website?

regards,
Jan
