options: API for meta-data about easy options

const struct curl_easyoption *curl_easy_option_by_name(const char *name);

 const struct curl_easyoption *curl_easy_option_by_id (CURLoption id);

 const struct curl_easyoption *
 curl_easy_option_next(const struct curl_easyoption *prev);

The purpose is to provide detailed enough information to allow for
example libcurl bindings to get option information at run-time about
what easy options that exist and what arguments they expect.

.TH curl_easy_option_by_id 3 "15 May 2020" "libcurl 7.71.0" "libcurl Manual"
.SH NAME
curl_easy_option_by_id - find an easy setopt option by id
.SH SYNOPSIS
.nf
#include <curl/curl.h>
const struct curl_easyoption *curl_easy_option_by_id(CURLoption id);
.fi
.SH DESCRIPTION
Given a CURLoption \fBid\fP, this function returns a pointer to the
curl_easyoption struct, holding information about the
\fIcurl_easy_setopt(3)\fP option using that id. The option id is the CURLOPT_
prefix ones provided in the standard curl/curl.h header file. This function
will return the non-aliases version for the cases where there is an alias
function as well.
If libcurl has no option with the given id, this function returns NULL.
.SH AVAILABILITY
This function was added in libcurl 7.71.0
.SH RETURN VALUE
A pointer to the curl_easyoption struct for the option or NULL.
.SH "SEE ALSO"
.BR curl_easy_option_by_name "(3)," curl_easy_option_next "(3),"
.BR curl_easy_setopt "(3),"

.SH SYNOPSIS

.SH DESCRIPTION
Given a \fBname\fP, this function returns a pointer to the curl_easyoption
struct, holding information about the \fIcurl_easy_setopt(3)\fP option using
that name. The name should be specified without the "CURLOPT_" prefix and the
name comparison is made case insensitive.
If libcurl has no option with the given name, this function returns NULL.

.SH DESCRIPTION
This function returns a pointer to the first or the next curl_easyoption
struct, providing an ability to iterate over all known options for
\fIcurl_easy_setopt(3)\fP in this instance of libcurl.
Pass a \fBNULL\fP argument as \fBprev\fP to get the first option returned, or
pass in the current option to get the next one returned. If there is no more
option to return, \fIcurl_easy_option_next(3)\fP returns NULL.
The options returned by this functions are the ones known to this libcurl and
information about what argument type they want.
If the \fBCURLOT_FLAG_ALIAS\fP bit is set in the flags field, it means the
name is provided for backwards compatibility as an alias.
.SH AVAILABILITY
This function was added in libcurl 7.71.0
.SH RETURN VALUE
A pointer to the curl_easyoption struct for the next option or NULL if no more
options.
.SH "SEE ALSO"

.BR curl_easy_setopt "(3),"
