TIL #curl help categories. When invoked with cli flag '-h' curl can provide you infos about command-line flags related to certain categories, e.g. http, smtp, ... Thanks for that @bagder
since a few versions back you can also get full help on every single command line option with "curl -h [option]". For example get -v explained in detail by typing "curl -h -v".
There are just so many options but we try different things to make it easier for users to find the right options and to learn what they do...
shame that Fedora does not build this manual in :( As useful as that feature is, I am usually looking for a specific feature in curl, for which I usually do not immediately know the flag, so I have to resort to searching in the man pages anyway :) @fst
OTOH the category help actually is really helpful and narrows things down considerably - I did not know about that and I will be using that more! :) @fst
