No. The examples don't cover that, but I hoped that the curl_formadd man page
was possible to fill in the blanks.

Right. That is so because CURLFORM_FILECONTENT was meant and designed as a
method to provide content data in exchange for using CURLFORM_PTRCONTENTS or
CURLFORM_COPYCONTENTS. It just means you create a command "part" with
contents read from the specified file.

To make a file-part in the manner you want, CURLFORM_FILE is your friend.

It does? Then it is wrong. (Where does it say this?) The code should be:

  curl_formadd(&post, &last,
               CURLFORM_COPYNAME, "logotype-image",
               CURLFORM_FILE, "curl.png", CURLFORM_END);

I hope this helps.
