docs/libcurl: generate PROTOCOLS from meta-data
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.

# NAME
CURLOPT_SSH_HOSTKEYFUNCTION - callback to check host key
# SYNOPSIS
~~~c
#include <curl/curl.h>
int keycallback(void *clientp,
int keytype,
const char *key,
size_t keylen);
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_SSH_HOSTKEYFUNCTION,
keycallback);
~~~
# DESCRIPTION
Pass a pointer to your callback function, which should match the prototype
shown above. It overrides CURLOPT_SSH_KNOWNHOSTS(3).
This callback gets called when the verification of the SSH host key is needed.
**key** is **keylen** bytes long and is the key to check. **keytype**
says what type it is, from the **CURLKHTYPE_*** series in the
**curl_khtype** enum.
**clientp** is a custom pointer set with CURLOPT_SSH_HOSTKEYDATA(3).
The callback MUST return one of the following return codes to tell libcurl how
to act:
## CURLKHMATCH_OK
The host key is accepted, the connection should continue.
## CURLKHMATCH_MISMATCH
the host key is rejected, the connection is canceled.
# DEFAULT
NULL
# EXAMPLE
~~~c
struct mine {
void *custom;
};
int hostkeycb(void *clientp, /* passed with CURLOPT_SSH_HOSTKEYDATA */
int keytype, /* CURLKHTYPE */
const char *key, /* host key to check */
size_t keylen) /* length of the key */
{
/* 'clientp' points to the callback_data struct */
/* investigate the situation and return the correct value */
return CURLKHMATCH_OK;
}
int main(void)
{
struct mine callback_data;
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "sftp://example.com/thisfile.txt");
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_SSH_HOSTKEYFUNCTION, hostkeycb);
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_SSH_HOSTKEYDATA, &callback_data);
curl_easy_perform(curl);
}
}
