one curl tool output:
AIX, ALPN, ANSI, BSD, Cygwin, Darwin, FreeBSD, GitHub, HP-UX, Linux,
macOS, MS-DOS, MSYS, MinGW, NTLM, POSIX, Solaris, UNIX, Unix, Unicode,
WINE, WebDAV, Win32, winbind, WinIDN, Windows, Windows CE, Winsock.

Mostly OS names and a few more.

# `--create-dirs`
When used in conjunction with the --output option, curl creates the necessary
local directory hierarchy as needed. This option creates the directories
mentioned with the --output option combined with the path possibly set with
--output-dir. If the combined output filename uses no directory, or if the
directories it mentions already exist, no directories are created.
Created directories are made with mode 0750 on Unix-style file systems.
To create remote directories when using FTP or SFTP, try --ftp-create-dirs.
