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.`

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. Closes #7654 2021-08-31 22:37:14 +08:00			`Example: --help all`
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: 4.0`
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: verbose`
curl.1: make help, version and manual sections "custom" Instead of using "multi: boolean", as these are slightly special as in they do are not enable/disable ones. Fixes #10490 Reported-by: u20221022 on github Closes #10497 2023-02-13 22:33:13 +08:00			`Multi: custom`
