This script parses all markdown files in the repository, extracts all
links and verifies that they work.
It makes sure to only check the URLs once, even if used in multiple
links. There is a whitelist for URLs we deem unnecessary to check.
It uses curl to do the checks.
As a bonus, this makes it easy to run this check locally.
Closes#15742
A number of checks don't match our style or are buggy and so are disabled.

The entire ASCII version of the manpage word wraps at a fixed column,
while example command lines can easily go wider than so.
This change now makes manage work on wrapping long example command lines
to make them look nicer. And also to avoid triggering the build error
caused by too long lines in the output.
Quoted lines cannot be wrapped, so managen now errors out if they are
"too long". With this addition, the 'maxline' script is removed as it is
no longer needed.
Closes#14543
... using the new script 'maxline' to which we specify the maximum
number of columns we allow any single line to be, or it will cause an
error.
Starting out with a max width at 100 columns.
Bonus: shorten the long line in the --ipfs-gateway section.
Closes#14423
This script remakes a provided curl release and verifies that the newly
built version is identical to the original file.
Due to bugs in releases up to and including curl 8.9.1, it does not work
on tarballs generated before commit 754acd1a9d.
Closes#14350
Make it possible to rebuild an identical copy from a release tarball. It
was previously only possible from a checked out git repository.
- add release-tools.sh to dist
- keep Makefile.dist around to include it in dist
- regenerate tool_huge.c with the new version in dist
- fix the dist CI job to not do make clean like before
Closes#14336
Create ASCII version of manpage without nroff
- build src/tool_hugegelp.c from the ascii manpage
- move the the manpage and the ascii version build to docs/cmdline-opts
- remove all use of nroff from the build process
- should make the build entirely reproducible (by avoiding nroff)
- partly reverts 2620aa9 to build libcurl option man pages one by one
in cmake because the appveyor builds got all crazy until I did
The ASCII version of the manpage
- is built with gen.pl, just like the manpage is
- has a right-justified column making the appearance similar to the previous
version
- uses a 4-space indent per level (instead of the old version's 7)
- does not do hyphenation of words (which nroff does)
History
We first made the curl build use nroff for building the hugehelp file in
December 1998, for curl 5.2.
Closes#13047
With the recent changes to completion file building, the files were
built always and only installation was selectively disabled. Now, when
they are disabled they aren't even built, avoiding a build-time error in
environments where it's not possible to run the curl binary that was
just created (e.g. if library paths were not set up correctly).

The code that attempted to skip building the shell completions didn't
work properly and tried to build them even if perl wasn't available.
This step, as well as the install step, is now properly skipped without
perl.
Follow-up to 89733e2ddCloses#13022
The --with-fish-functions-dir and --with-zsh-functions-dir options
currently have no effect on a normal build because the scripts/ directory
where they're used is not built. Add scripts/ to a normal build and
change the completion options to default to off to preserve the existing
behaviour.
Closes: #12906
curldown is this new file format for libcurl man pages. It is markdown
inspired with differences:
- Each file has a set of leading headers with meta-data
- Supports a small subset of markdown
- Uses .md file extensions for editors/IDE/GitHub to treat them nicely
- Generates man pages very similar to the previous ones
- Generates man pages that still convert nicely to HTML on the website
- Detects and highlights mentions of curl symbols automatically (when
their man page section is specified)
tools:
- cd2nroff: converts from curldown to nroff man page
- nroff2cd: convert an (old) nroff man page to curldown
- cdall: convert many nroff pages to curldown versions
- cd2cd: verifies and updates a curldown to latest curldown
This setup generates .3 versions of all the curldown versions at build time.
CI:
Since the documentation is now technically markdown in the eyes of many
things, the CI runs many more tests and checks on this documentation,
including proselint, link checkers and tests that make sure we capitalize the
first letter after a period...
Closes#12730
This tool generates a scheme-matching table.
It iterates over a number of different initial and shift values in order
to find the hash algorithm that needs the smallest possible table.
The generated hash function, table and table size then needs to be used
by the url.c:Curl_getn_scheme_handler() function.
- they are mostly pointless in all major jurisdictions
- many big corporations and projects already don't use them
- saves us from pointless churn
- git keeps history for us
- the year range is kept in COPYING
checksrc is updated to allow non-year using copyright statements
Closes#10205
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
Move checksrc.pl, firefox-db2pem.sh and mk-ca-bundle.pl since they don't
particularly belong in lib/
Also created an EXTRA_DIST= in scripts/Makefile.am instead of specifying
those files in the root Makefile.am
Closes#8625
Reported by the new script 'scripts/copyright.pl'. The script has a
regex whitelist for the files that don't need copyright headers.
Removed three (mostly usesless) README files from docs/
Closes#5141
