docs/libcurl/opts: clarify the return values
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

# NAME
CURLOPT_RTSP_STREAM_URI - RTSP stream URI
# SYNOPSIS
~~~c
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_RTSP_STREAM_URI, char *URI);
~~~
# DESCRIPTION
Set the stream *URI* to operate on by passing a char * . For example, a single
session may be controlling *rtsp://foo/twister/audio* and
*rtsp://foo/twister/video* and the application can switch to the appropriate
stream using this option. If unset, libcurl defaults to operating on generic
server options by passing '*' in the place of the RTSP Stream URI. This option
is distinct from CURLOPT_URL(3). When working with RTSP, the
CURLOPT_RTSP_STREAM_URI(3) indicates what URL to send to the server in the
request header while the CURLOPT_URL(3) indicates where to make the connection
to. (e.g. the CURLOPT_URL(3) for the above examples might be set to
*rtsp://foo/twister*
The application does not have to keep the string around after setting this
option.
Using this option multiple times makes the last set string override the
previous ones. Set it to NULL to disable its use again.
# DEFAULT
"*"
# %PROTOCOLS%
# EXAMPLE
~~~c
int main(void)
{
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
CURLcode res;
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "rtsp://example.com/");
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_RTSP_STREAM_URI,
"rtsp://foo.example.com/twister/video");
res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
}
}
~~~
# %AVAILABILITY%
# RETURN VALUE
curl_easy_setopt(3) returns a CURLcode indicating success or error.
CURLE_OK (0) means everything was OK, non-zero means an error occurred, see
libcurl-errors(3).
