- make DEFAULT sections less repetitive

- make historic mentions use HISTORY

- generate the protocols section on `# %PROTOCOLS%` instead of guessing
  where to put it

- generate the availability section on `# %AVAILABILITY%` instead of
  guessing where to put it

- make the protocols section more verbose

NAME

CURLOPT_PORT - remote port number to connect to

SYNOPSIS

#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_PORT, long number);

DESCRIPTION

We discourage using this option since its scope is not obvious and hard to predict. Set the preferred port number in the URL instead.

This option sets number to be the remote port number to connect to, instead of the one specified in the URL or the default port for the used protocol.

Usually, you just let the URL decide which port to use but this allows the application to override that.

While this option accepts a 'long', a port number is an unsigned 16 bit number and therefore using a port number lower than zero or over 65535 causes a CURLE_BAD_FUNCTION_ARGUMENT error.

DEFAULT

0 which makes it not used. This also makes port number zero impossible to set with this API.

%PROTOCOLS%

EXAMPLE

int main(void)
{
  CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
  if(curl) {
    CURLcode res;
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com/foo.bin");
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_PORT, 8080L);
    res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
    curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
  }
}

%AVAILABILITY%

RETURN VALUE

Returns CURLE_OK
