Multipath TCP (MPTCP), standardized in RFC8684 [1], is a TCP extension
that enables a TCP connection to use different paths.
Multipath TCP has been used for several use cases. On smartphones, MPTCP
enables seamless handovers between cellular and Wi-Fi networks while
preserving established connections. This use-case is what pushed Apple
to use MPTCP since 2013 in multiple applications [2]. On dual-stack
hosts, Multipath TCP enables the TCP connection to automatically use the
best performing path, either IPv4 or IPv6. If one path fails, MPTCP
automatically uses the other path.
To benefit from MPTCP, both the client and the server have to support
it. Multipath TCP is a backward-compatible TCP extension that is enabled
by default on recent Linux distributions (Debian, Ubuntu, Redhat, ...).
Multipath TCP is included in the Linux kernel since version 5.6 [3]. To
use it on Linux, an application must explicitly enable it when creating
the socket. No need to change anything else in the application.
This attached patch adds an --mptcp option which allows the creation of
an MPTCP socket instead of TCP on Linux. If Multipath TCP is not
supported on the system, an error will be reported. It is important to
note that if the end server doesn't support MPTCP, the connection will
continue after a seamless fallback to TCP.

Closes#13278
- Revert to the legacy TLS 1.2 key logging code for LibreSSL.
- Document SSLKEYLOGFILE for LibreSSL is TLS 1.2 max.
Prior to this change if the user specified a filename in the
SSLKEYLOGFILE environment variable and was using LibreSSL 3.5.0+ then
an empty file would be created and no keys would be logged.
This is effectively a revert of e43474b4 which changed openssl.c to use
SSL_CTX_set_keylog_callback for LibreSSL 3.5.0+. Unfortunately LibreSSL
added that function only as a stub that doesn't actually do anything.

Closes https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/13682
... no need to use an absolute path, that makes the build unncessarily
fail if invoked using a different mount point. managen now takes options
to find the input files.
Update test1478 to provide the dir arguments to managen
Closes#13281
make -C docs/cmdline-opts install depends on all-am, which in turn
depends on $(MANS), unconditionally defined to be $(man_MANS).
As with CLEANFILES, only add curl.1 to man_MANS when BUILD_DOCS is true
so we don't try to build curl.1 unnecessarily.
Closes#13198
Use imperative mood consistently for the first sentence describing an
option.
"Set this" instead "tell curl to set" or "this sets..."
Plus some extra cleanups and rephrasing.
Closes#13106
Since it is no longer needed for building tool_hugehelp.c and all the
docs is available in readable markdown format in the tarball, the peeps
that don't want to build the manpage still do good.
Removing it also fixes the complexity of out-of-tree builds when the
curl.1 exists in the source tree.
All CR and LF bytes should be stripped, as documented, and all other
bytes are inluded in the data. Starting now, it also excludes null bytes
as they would otherwise also cut the data short.

Fixes#13063Closes#13064
Create ASCII version of manpage without nroff
- build src/tool_hugegelp.c from the ascii manpage
- move the the manpage and the ascii version build to docs/cmdline-opts
- remove all use of nroff from the build process
- should make the build entirely reproducible (by avoiding nroff)
- partly reverts 2620aa9 to build libcurl option man pages one by one
in cmake because the appveyor builds got all crazy until I did
The ASCII version of the manpage
- is built with gen.pl, just like the manpage is
- has a right-justified column making the appearance similar to the previous
version
- uses a 4-space indent per level (instead of the old version's 7)
- does not do hyphenation of words (which nroff does)
History
We first made the curl build use nroff for building the hugehelp file in
December 1998, for curl 5.2.
Closes#13047
The function that replaces occurances of "--longoption" with "-Z,
--longoption" etc with the proper highlight applied, no longer loops
over the options.
Closes#13041
This fixes miscellaneous typos and duplicated words in the docs, lib
and test comments and a few user facing errorstrings.

Returns 1 if the previous transfer used a proxy, otherwise 0. Useful to

not.
