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

# `--parallel`
|
|
|
|
|
2024-06-05 15:34:32 +08:00
|
|
|
Makes curl perform all transfers in parallel as compared to the regular serial
|
|
|
|
manner. Parallel transfer means that curl runs up to N concurrent transfers
|
|
|
|
simultaneously and if there are more than N transfers to handle, it starts new
|
|
|
|
ones when earlier transfers finish.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
With parallel transfers, the progress meter output is different than when
|
|
|
|
doing serial transfers, as it then displays the transfer status for multiple
|
|
|
|
transfers in a single line.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The maximum amount of concurrent transfers is set with --parallel-max and it
|
|
|
|
defaults to 50.
