- switch all invidual files documenting command line options into .md, as the documentation is now markdown-looking. - made the parser treat 4-space indents as quotes - switch to building the curl.1 manpage using the "mainpage.idx" file, which lists the files to include to generate it, instead of using the previous page-footer/headers. Also, those files are now also .md ones, using the same format. I gave them underscore prefixes to make them sort separately: _NAME.md, _SYNOPSIS.md, _DESCRIPTION.md, _URL.md, _GLOBBING.md, _VARIABLES.md, _OUTPUT.md, _PROTOCOLS.md, _PROGRESS.md, _VERSION.md, _OPTIONS.md, _FILES.md, _ENVIRONMENT.md, _PROXYPREFIX.md, _EXITCODES.md, _BUGS.md, _AUTHORS.md, _WWW.md, _SEEALSO.md - updated test cases accordingly Closes #12751

--cookie-jar
Specify to which file you want curl to write all cookies after a completed operation. Curl writes all cookies from its in-memory cookie storage to the given file at the end of operations. If no cookies are known, no data is written. The file is created using the Netscape cookie file format. If you set the file name to a single dash, "-", the cookies are written to stdout.
The file specified with --cookie-jar is only used for output. No cookies are read from the file. To read cookies, use the --cookie option. Both options can specify the same file.
This command line option activates the cookie engine that makes curl record and use cookies. The --cookie option also activates it.
If the cookie jar cannot be created or written to, the whole curl operation does not fail or even report an error clearly. Using --verbose gets a warning displayed, but that is the only visible feedback you get about this possibly lethal situation.
