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

Specify the user name and password to use for proxy authentication.

If you use a Windows SSPI-enabled curl binary and do either Negotiate or NTLM
|
|
authentication then you can tell curl to select the user name and password
|
|
from your environment by specifying a single colon with this option: "-U :".
|
|
|
|
On systems where it works, curl will hide the given option argument from
|
|
process listings. This is not enough to protect credentials from possibly
|
|
getting seen by other users on the same system as they will still be visible
|
|
for a brief moment before cleared. Such sensitive data should be retrieved
|
|
from a file instead or similar and never used in clear text in a command line.
|
|
|
|
If this option is used several times, the last one will be used.
