- 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
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
gen.pl now generates a warning if the "See Also" field is not filled in for a
command line option
All command line options now provide one or more related options. 167
"See alsos" added!
Closes#8019
Treat consecutive lines that start with a space to be "examples". They
are output enclosed by .nf and .fi
Updated form.d to use this new fanciness
Closes#8016
Since "too old" versions are no longer included in the generated man
page, this field is now mandatory so that it won't be forgotten and then
not included in the documentation.
Closes#7786
The file format for each option now features a "Example:" header that
can provide one or more examples that get rendered appropriately in the
output. All options MUST have at least one example or gen.pl complains
at build-time.
This fix also does a few other minor format and consistency cleanups.
Closes#7654
--data, --form, and --ntlm were declared to be mutually exclusive with
non-existing options. --data and --form referred to --upload (which is
short for --upload-file and therefore did work, so this one was merely
a bit confusing), --ntlm referred to --negotiated instead of --negotiate.
Closes#2612
Also upgrade test 1133 to cover this case and clarify man page about
form data quoting.
Bug: https://github.com/curl/curl/issues/2022
Reported-By: omau on github
If stdin is not a regular file, its content is memory-buffered to enable
a possible data "rewind".
In all cases, stdin data size is determined before real use to avoid
having an unknown part's size.
--libcurl generated code is left as an unbuffered stdin fread/fseek callback
part with unknown data size.
Buffering is not supported in deprecated curl_formadd() API.
curl_mime_encoder() is operational and documented.
curl tool -F option is extended with ";encoder=".
curl tool --libcurl option generates calls to curl_mime_encoder().
New encoder tests 648 & 649.
Test 1404 extended with an encoder specification.
