docs/libcurl: generate PROTOCOLS from meta-data
Remove the PROTOCOLS section from the source files completely and
instead generate them based on the header data in the curldown files.

It also generates TLS backend information for options marked for TLS as
protocol.

NAME

CURLINFO_OS_ERRNO - get errno number from last connect failure

SYNOPSIS

#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_easy_getinfo(CURL *handle, CURLINFO_OS_ERRNO, long *errnop);

DESCRIPTION

Pass a pointer to a long to receive the errno variable from a connect failure. Note that the value is only set on failure, it is not reset upon a successful operation. The number is OS and system specific.

EXAMPLE

int main(void)
{
  CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
  if(curl) {
    CURLcode res;
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com");
    res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
    if(res != CURLE_OK) {
      long error;
      res = curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_OS_ERRNO, &error);
      if(res && error) {
        printf("Errno: %ld\n", error);
      }
    }
    curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
  }
}

AVAILABILITY

Added in 7.12.2

RETURN VALUE

Returns CURLE_OK if the option is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not.
