docs: make each libcurl man specify protocol(s)
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

NAME

CURLOPT_IOCTLDATA - pointer passed to I/O callback

SYNOPSIS

#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_IOCTLDATA, void *pointer);

DESCRIPTION

Pass the pointer that is untouched by libcurl and passed as the 3rd argument in the ioctl callback set with CURLOPT_IOCTLFUNCTION(3).

DEFAULT

By default, the value of this parameter is NULL.

PROTOCOLS

Used with HTTP

EXAMPLE

#include <unistd.h> /* for lseek */

struct data {
  int fd; /* our file descriptor */
};

static curlioerr ioctl_callback(CURL *handle, int cmd, void *clientp)
{
  struct data *io = (struct data *)clientp;
  if(cmd == CURLIOCMD_RESTARTREAD) {
    lseek(io->fd, 0, SEEK_SET);
    return CURLIOE_OK;
  }
  return CURLIOE_UNKNOWNCMD;
}
int main(void)
{
  struct data ioctl_data;
  CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
  if(curl) {
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_IOCTLFUNCTION, ioctl_callback);
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_IOCTLDATA, &ioctl_data);
  }
}

AVAILABILITY

Added in 7.12.3. Deprecated since 7.18.0.

RETURN VALUE
