"Fossies" - the Fresh Open Source Software Archive

Member "curl-7.67.0/docs/cmdline-opts/config.d" (15 Oct 2019, 2480 Bytes) of package /linux/www/curl-7.67.0.tar.xz:

As a special service "Fossies" has tried to format the requested source page into HTML format using (guessed) D source code syntax highlighting (style: standard) with prefixed line numbers and code folding option. Alternatively you can here view or download the uninterpreted source code file. For more information about "config.d" see the Fossies "Dox" file reference documentation and the last Fossies "Diffs" side-by-side code changes report: 7.65.3_vs_7.66.0.

    1 Long: config
    2 Arg: <file>
    3 Help: Read config from a file
    4 Short: K

    6 
    7 Specify a text file to read curl arguments from. The command line arguments
    8 found in the text file will be used as if they were provided on the command
    9 line.
   10 
   11 Options and their parameters must be specified on the same line in the file,
   12 separated by whitespace, colon, or the equals sign. Long option names can
   13 optionally be given in the config file without the initial double dashes and
   14 if so, the colon or equals characters can be used as separators. If the option
   15 is specified with one or two dashes, there can be no colon or equals character
   16 between the option and its parameter.
   17 
   18 If the parameter contains whitespace (or starts with : or =), the parameter
   19 must be enclosed within quotes. Within double quotes, the following escape
   20 sequences are available: \\\\, \\", \\t, \\n, \\r and \\v. A backslash
   21 preceding any other letter is ignored. If the first column of a config line is
   22 a '#' character, the rest of the line will be treated as a comment. Only write
   23 one option per physical line in the config file.
   24 
   25 Specify the filename to --config as '-' to make curl read the file from stdin.
   26 
   27 Note that to be able to specify a URL in the config file, you need to specify
   28 it using the --url option, and not by simply writing the URL on its own
   29 line. So, it could look similar to this:
   30 
   31 url = "https://curl.haxx.se/docs/"
   32 
   33 When curl is invoked, it (unless --disable is used) checks for a default
   34 config file and uses it if found. The default config file is checked for in
   35 the following places in this order:
   36 
   37 1) curl tries to find the "home dir": It first checks for the CURL_HOME and
   38 then the HOME environment variables. Failing that, it uses getpwuid() on
   39 Unix-like systems (which returns the home dir given the current user in your
   40 system). On Windows, it then checks for the APPDATA variable, or as a last
   41 resort the '%USERPROFILE%\\Application Data'.
   42 
   43 2) On windows, if there is no .curlrc file in the home dir, it checks for one
   44 in the same dir the curl executable is placed. On Unix-like systems, it will
   45 simply try to load .curlrc from the determined home dir.

   48 # --- Example file ---
   49 # this is a comment
   50 url = "example.com"
   51 output = "curlhere.html"
   52 user-agent = "superagent/1.0"
   53 
   54 # and fetch another URL too
   55 url = "example.com/docs/manpage.html"
   56 -O
   57 referer = "http://nowhereatall.example.com/"
   58 # --- End of example file ---
   59 .fi

   61 This option can be used multiple times to load multiple config files.
