The keyword specifies how option works when specified multiple times:
- single: the last provided value replaces the earlier ones
- append: it supports being provided multiple times
- boolean: on/off values
- mutex: flag-like option that disable anoter flag
The 'gen.pl' script then outputs the proper and unified language for
each option's multi-use behavior in the generated man page.
The multi: header is requires in each .d file and will cause build error
if missing or set to an unknown value.
Closes#9759
They were previously (erroneously) added manually to tool_listhelp.c
which would make them get removed again when the file is updated next
time, unless added correctly here in header.d

The introduction of CURL_DISABLE_MIME came with some additional bugs:
- Disabled MIME is compiled-in anyway if SMTP and/or IMAP is enabled.
- CURLOPT_MIMEPOST, CURLOPT_MIME_OPTIONS and CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER are
conditioned on HTTP, although also needed for SMTP and IMAP MIME mail
uploads.
In addition, the CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER and --header documentation does not
mention their use for MIME mail.
This commit fixes the problems above.
Closes#9610
Next Protocol Negotiation is a TLS extension that was created and used
for agreeing to use the SPDY protocol (the precursor to HTTP/2) for
HTTPS. In the early days of HTTP/2, before the spec was finalized and
shipped, the protocol could be enabled using this extension with some
servers.
curl supports the NPN extension with some TLS backends since then, with
a command line option `--npn` and in libcurl with
`CURLOPT_SSL_ENABLE_NPN`.
HTTP/2 proper is made to use the ALPN (Application-Layer Protocol
Negotiation) extension and the NPN extension has no purposes
anymore. The HTTP/2 spec was published in May 2015.
Today, use of NPN in the wild should be extremely rare and most likely
totally extinct. Chrome removed NPN support in Chrome 51, shipped in
June 2016. Removed in Firefox 53, April 2017.
Closes#9307
As "(aq" and "(dq" to prevent them from implying a meaning in the nroff
output. This removes the need for using \& escapes in the .d files'
description parts.
Closes#9352
The example was missing a "--form" argument
I also replaced "--form" with "-F" to shorten the line a bit since it
was already very long.
And I also moved --form-escape from the "post" category to the "upload"
category (this is what I originally wanted to fix, before also noticing
the mistake in the example).
Closes#9298
This commit adds the dns category to the --resolve command line option,
because it can be interpreted as both: a low-level connection option and
an option related to the resolving of a hostname.
It is also not common for dns options to belong to the connection
category and vice versa. --ipv4 and --ipv6 are both good examples.
Closes#9229
On some systems, the gen.pl script takes nearly two minutes for the
generation of the main-page, which is a completely unacceptable time.
The slow performance has two causes:
1. Use of a regex locale operator
2. Useless invokations of loops
The commit addresses the first issue by replacing the "\W" wiht
[^a-zA-Z0-9_], which is, according to regex101.com, functionally
equivalent to the previous operation, except that it is obviously
limited to ASCII only, which is fine, as the curl project is
English-only anyway.
The second issue is being addressed by only running the loop if the line
contains a "--" in it. The loop may be completeley removed in the
future.

Add licensing and copyright information for all files in this repository. This
either happens in the file itself as a comment header or in the file
`.reuse/dep5`.
This commit also adds a Github workflow to check pull requests and adapts
copyright.pl to the changes.
Closes#8869
Prior to this change the doc said --max-time set the maximum time of the
'whole operation' which is not accurate. The option maps to
CURLOPT_TIMEOUT_MS which sets maximum transfer time.
For example, the maximum time on a transfer is reset if the transfer is
retried (--retry).

Usage:
curl -x "socks5h://localhost/run/tor/socks" "https://example.com"
Updated runtests.pl to run a socksd server listening on unix socket
Added tests test1467 test1468
Added documentation for proxy command line option and socks proxy
options
Closes#8668
Instead of saying "This option overrides NNN", now say "This option is
mutually exclusive to NNN" in the generated man page ouput, as the
option does not in all cases actually override the others but they are
always mutually exclusive.
Ref: #8704Closes#8716
Mostly based on recent language decisions from "everything curl":
- remove contractions (isn't => is not)
- *an* HTTP (consistency)
- runtime (no hyphen)
- backend (no hyphen)
- URL is uppercase
Closes#8646
If a transfer returns an error, using this option makes curl remove the
leftover downloded (partial) local file before exiting.
Added test 376 to verify
Closes#8503
Recent changes added support for filename .curlrc on Windows, and
when it's not found curl falls back on the original Windows filename
_curlrc. _curlrc was removed from the doc, however it is still valid.
Closes https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/8382
