Daniel Stenberg	2494b8dd51	docs/cmdline: change to .md for cmdline docs ... - 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	2024-01-23 14:30:15 +01:00
Daniel Stenberg	2bc1d775f5	copyright: update all copyright lines and remove year ranges ... - they are mostly pointless in all major jurisdictions - many big corporations and projects already don't use them - saves us from pointless churn - git keeps history for us - the year range is kept in COPYING checksrc is updated to allow non-year using copyright statements Closes #10205	2023-01-03 09:19:21 +01:00
Daniel Stenberg	ef305de95c	cmdline/docs: add a required 'multi' keyword for each option ... The keyword specifies how option works when specified multiple times: - single: the last provided value replaces the earlier ones - append: it supports being provided multiple times - boolean: on/off values - mutex: flag-like option that disable anoter flag The 'gen.pl' script then outputs the proper and unified language for each option's multi-use behavior in the generated man page. The multi: header is requires in each .d file and will cause build error if missing or set to an unknown value. Closes #9759	2022-10-18 18:50:25 +02:00
Daniel Stenberg	df45fd1794	docs/cmdline-opts: add copyright and license identifier to each file ... gen.pl now insists on C: and SPDX-License-Identifier: fields to be present in all files. Closes #9002	2022-06-14 08:48:09 +02:00
Daniel Stenberg	ce6e3e5320	cmdline-opts: made the 'Added:' field mandatory ... Since "too old" versions are no longer included in the generated man page, this field is now mandatory so that it won't be forgotten and then not included in the documentation. Closes #7786	2021-09-28 16:20:12 +02:00
Daniel Stenberg	68784d73c3	curl.1: provide examples for each option ... The file format for each option now features a "Example:" header that can provide one or more examples that get rendered appropriately in the output. All options MUST have at least one example or gen.pl complains at build-time. This fix also does a few other minor format and consistency cleanups. Closes #7654	2021-09-01 14:02:43 +02:00
Emil Engler	5dddc1dc7e	docs: add categories to all cmdline opts ... Adapted gen.pl with 'listcats' This commit is a part of "--help me if you can" Closes #5680	2020-09-04 15:38:14 +02:00
Daniel Stenberg	5c4a526388	cmdline-opts: more command line options documented ... Moved over to the new format	2016-11-28 00:50:25 +01:00
