Daniel Gustafsson 8d67c61c47 curldown: Fix email address in Copyright
The curldown conversion accidentally replaced daniel@haxx.se with
just daniel.se.  This reverts back to the proper email address in
the curldown docs as well as in a few other stray places where it
was incorrect (while unrelated to curldown).

NAME

curl_easy_strerror - return string describing error code

SYNOPSIS

#include <curl/curl.h>

const char *curl_easy_strerror(CURLcode errornum);

DESCRIPTION

The curl_easy_strerror(3) function returns a string describing the CURLcode error code passed in the argument errornum.

Typically applications also appreciate CURLOPT_ERRORBUFFER(3) for more specific error descriptions generated at runtime.

EXAMPLE

int main(void)
{
  CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
  if(curl) {
    CURLcode res;
    /* set options */
    /* Perform the entire transfer */
    res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
    /* Check for errors */
    if(res != CURLE_OK)
      fprintf(stderr, "curl_easy_perform() failed: %s\n",
              curl_easy_strerror(res));
  }
}

AVAILABILITY

This function was added in libcurl 7.12.0

RETURN VALUE

A pointer to a null-terminated string.
