Use imperative mood consistently for the first sentence describing an option. "Set this" instead "tell curl to set" or "this sets..." Plus some extra cleanups and rephrasing. Closes #13106

# `--capath`
|
|
|
|
Use the specified certificate directory to verify the peer. Multiple paths can
|
|
be provided by separated with colon (`:`) (e.g. `path1:path2:path3`). The
|
|
certificates must be in PEM format, and if curl is built against OpenSSL, the
|
|
directory must have been processed using the c_rehash utility supplied with
|
|
OpenSSL. Using --capath can allow OpenSSL-powered curl to make SSL-connections
|
|
much more efficiently than using --cacert if the --cacert file contains many
|
|
CA certificates.

If this option is set, the default capath value is ignored.
