The short descriptions describe the data each info retrieves. The info
itself does not 'get' the data.
This simplifies and shortens the descriptions and make them more
consistent.
Closes#19406
To make the texts easier on the eye.
- Remove most free text references to curl versions before 7.60.0 (May
2018)
- Leave those present in a HISTORY section
Most of them are already documented in symbols-in-versions anyway.
Closes#18530
Add tests of CURLINFO_TLS_SSL_PTR and its returned value in test client
'hx-download'. Use obtained pointer to look up the negotiated TLS
version.
Update manpage of CURLINFO_TLS_SSL_PTR to also describe the behaviour of
wolfSSL similar to OpenSSL. Fix the wolfSSl implementation for TCP to
behave like that. Update the QUIC queries.
Fix rustls `get_internals()` to return the rustls_connection* and not
the address of the pointer.

Closes#18066
Expand a little.
- mention the type name of the return code
- avoid stating which exact return codes that might be returned, as that
varies over time, builds and conditions
- avoid stating some always return OK
- refer to the manpage documenting all the return codes
Closes#15900
- make DEFAULT sections less repetitive
- make historic mentions use HISTORY
- generate the protocols section on `# %PROTOCOLS%` instead of guessing
where to put it
- generate the availability section on `# %AVAILABILITY%` instead of
guessing where to put it
- make the protocols section more verbose
Closes#14227
- generate AVAILABILITY manpage sections automatically - for consistent
wording
- allows us to double-check against other documumentation (symbols-in-versions
etc)
- enables proper automation/scripting based on this data
- lots of them were wrong or missing in the manpages
- several of them repeated (sometimes mismatching) backend support info
Add test 1488 to verify "added-in" version numbers against
symbols-in-versions.
Closes#14217
Remove the PROTOCOLS section from the source files completely and
instead generate them based on the header data in the curldown files.
It also generates TLS backend information for options marked for TLS as
protocol.
Closes#13175
All man pages that are listed to be for TLS now must also specify
exactly what TLS backends the option works for, or use All if they all
work.
cd2nroff makes sure this is done and that the listed backends exist.
Closes#13168
- CURLINFO_TLS_SESSION.md: remove mention of NSS
- CURLINFO_TLS_SSL_PTR.md: remove NSS leftover
- CURLOPT_CAINFO.md: drop mention of backends not supporting this
- CURLOPT_CAPATH.md: wolfSSL also supports this
Closes#13166
The mandatory header now has a mandatory list of protocols for which the
manpage is relevant.
Most man pages already has a "PROTOCOLS" section, but this introduces a
stricter way to specify the relevant protocols.
cd2nroff verifies that at least one protocol is mentioned (which can be
`*`).
This information is not used just yet, but A) the PROTOCOLS section can
now instead get generated and get a unified wording across all manpages
and B) this allows us to more reliably filter/search for protocol
specific manpages/options.
Closes#13166
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).

Closes: #12997
curldown is this new file format for libcurl man pages. It is markdown
inspired with differences:
- Each file has a set of leading headers with meta-data
- Supports a small subset of markdown
- Uses .md file extensions for editors/IDE/GitHub to treat them nicely
- Generates man pages very similar to the previous ones
- Generates man pages that still convert nicely to HTML on the website
- Detects and highlights mentions of curl symbols automatically (when
their man page section is specified)
tools:
- cd2nroff: converts from curldown to nroff man page
- nroff2cd: convert an (old) nroff man page to curldown
- cdall: convert many nroff pages to curldown versions
- cd2cd: verifies and updates a curldown to latest curldown
This setup generates .3 versions of all the curldown versions at build time.
CI:
Since the documentation is now technically markdown in the eyes of many
things, the CI runs many more tests and checks on this documentation,
including proselint, link checkers and tests that make sure we capitalize the
first letter after a period...
Closes#12730
