curl/curl has 181,213 source lines of code out of 248,549 total lines across 627 files, counted from the a40991b97c0ce721e85acbe16e16fe79b7b68c51 ref at commit a40991b97c0c by the OctoCounts tokei engine on 2026-09-19. The report is cached by commit, tokei version, and analysis options, so recounting the same revision returns exactly these numbers.

OctoCounts produced this report by resolving curl/curl to commit a40991b97c0c, downloading the repository source archive, and counting every source file with tokei, the open-source line counter written in Rust. The table below breaks the count down by programming language into files, total lines, code lines, comment lines, and blank lines, so the figures can be compared across languages and projects. Results are cached by commit, tokei version, and analysis options, so counting the same revision again reproduces exactly these numbers.
