docs/libcurl/opts: clarify the return values
Expand a little.

- mention the type name of the return code
- avoid stating which exact return codes that might be returned, as that
  varies over time, builds and conditions
- avoid stating some always return OK
- refer to the manpage documenting all the return codes

# NAME
CURLOPT_RTSP_SESSION_ID - RTSP session ID
# SYNOPSIS
~~~c
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_RTSP_SESSION_ID, char *id);
~~~
# DESCRIPTION
Pass a char pointer as a parameter to set the value of the current RTSP
Session ID for the handle. Useful for resuming an in-progress session. Once
this value is set to any non-NULL value, libcurl returns
*CURLE_RTSP_SESSION_ERROR* if ID received from the server does not match. If
unset (or set to NULL), libcurl automatically sets the ID the first time the
server sets it in a response.
The application does not have to keep the string around after setting this
option.
Using this option multiple times makes the last set string override the
previous ones. Set it to NULL to disable its use again.
# DEFAULT
NULL
# %PROTOCOLS%
# EXAMPLE
~~~c
int main(void)
{
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
CURLcode res;
char *prev_id; /* saved from before somehow */
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "rtsp://example.com/");
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_RTSP_SESSION_ID, prev_id);
res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
}
}
~~~
# %AVAILABILITY%
# RETURN VALUE
curl_easy_setopt(3) returns a CURLcode indicating success or error.
CURLE_OK (0) means everything was OK, non-zero means an error occurred, see
libcurl-errors(3).
