docs/cmdline: change to .md for cmdline docs
- switch all invidual files documenting command line options into .md,
as the documentation is now markdown-looking.
- made the parser treat 4-space indents as quotes
- switch to building the curl.1 manpage using the "mainpage.idx" file,
which lists the files to include to generate it, instead of using the
previous page-footer/headers. Also, those files are now also .md
ones, using the same format. I gave them underscore prefixes to make
them sort separately:
_NAME.md, _SYNOPSIS.md, _DESCRIPTION.md, _URL.md, _GLOBBING.md,
_VARIABLES.md, _OUTPUT.md, _PROTOCOLS.md, _PROGRESS.md, _VERSION.md,
_OPTIONS.md, _FILES.md, _ENVIRONMENT.md, _PROXYPREFIX.md,
_EXITCODES.md, _BUGS.md, _AUTHORS.md, _WWW.md, _SEEALSO.md
- updated test cases accordingly
Closes #12751

|
Use IPv6 addresses only when resolving hostnames, and not for example try
|
|
|
|
IPv4.
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Your resolver may respond to an IPv6-only resolve request by returning IPv6
|
|
|
|
addresses that contain "mapped" IPv4 addresses for compatibility purposes.
|
|
|
|
macOS is known to do this.
