- always assign the curl_easy_perform() return code (and declare
the necessary 'result' variable for it)
- always call curl_easy_cleanup() on the created easy handles
Closes#21364
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
- Parse the input string without modifying it.
Prior to this change a segfault could occur if the input string was
const because the tokenizer modified the input string. For example if
the user set CURLOPT_COOKIELIST to a const string then libcurl would
likely cause a crash when modifying that string. Even if the string was
not const or a crash did not occur there was still the incorrect and
unexpected modification of the user's input string.
This issue was caused by 30da1f59 (precedes 8.11.0) which refactored
some options parsing and eliminated the copy of the input string. Also,
an earlier commit f88cc654 incorrectly cast the input pointer when
passing it to strtok.

Closes https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/15826
- 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
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).

This means words, phrases or things we have decided not to use - words that
are spelled right according to the dictionary but we want to avoid. In the
name of consistency and better documentation.
Closes#12764
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...
