The documentation for Upload data to a remote site in the tutorial at https://curl.se/libcurl/c/libcurl-tutorial.html is confusing

The problem

Where bufptr is the pointer to a buffer we fill in with data to upload and sizenitems* is the size of the buffer and therefore also the maximum amount of data we can return to libcurl in this call. The userp pointer is the custom pointer we set to point to a struct of ours to pass private data between the application and the callback.

I don't understand sizenitems*. Should that be nitems * size?
