When used in conjunction with the --output option, curl will create the
necessary local directory hierarchy as needed. This option creates the
directories mentioned with the --output option, nothing else. If the --output
file name uses no directory, or if the directories it mentions already exist,
no directories will be created.

Created dirs are made with mode 0750 on unix style file systems.

To create remote directories when using FTP or SFTP, try --ftp-create-dirs.
copyright: update all copyright lines and remove year ranges - they are mostly pointless in all major jurisdictions - many big corporations and projects already don't use them - saves us from pointless churn - git keeps history for us - the year range is kept in COPYING checksrc is updated to allow non-year using copyright statements Closes #10205 2023-01-02 20:51:48 +08:00			`c: Copyright (C) Daniel Stenberg, <daniel@haxx.se>, et al.`

docs: add categories to all cmdline opts Adapted gen.pl with 'listcats' This commit is a part of "--help me if you can" Closes #5680 2020-07-13 20:15:04 +08:00			`Category: curl`
curl.1: provide examples for each option The file format for each option now features a "Example:" header that can provide one or more examples that get rendered appropriately in the output. All options MUST have at least one example or gen.pl complains at build-time. This fix also does a few other minor format and consistency cleanups.

cmdline-opts: made the 'Added:' field mandatory Since "too old" versions are no longer included in the generated man page, this field is now mandatory so that it won't be forgotten and then not included in the documentation. Closes #7786 2021-09-28 17:50:07 +08:00			`Added: 7.10.3`
curl.1: require "see also" for every documented option gen.pl now generates a warning if the "See Also" field is not filled in for a command line option All command line options now provide one or more related options. 167 "See alsos" added! Closes #8019 2021-11-15 22:58:20 +08:00			`See-also: ftp-create-dirs output-dir`
cmdline/docs: add a required 'multi' keyword for each option The keyword specifies how option works when specified multiple times: - single: the last provided value replaces the earlier ones - append: it supports being provided multiple times - boolean: on/off values - mutex: flag-like option that disable anoter flag The 'gen.pl' script then outputs the proper and unified language for each option's multi-use behavior in the generated man page. The multi: header is requires in each .d file and will cause build error if missing or set to an unknown value. Closes #9759 2022-10-18 16:39:43 +08:00			`Multi: boolean`

docs: spell out directories instead of dirs in create-dirs Write out directories rather than using the dirs abbrevation. Also use plural form consistently, even if the code in the end might just create a single directory.
