- 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

# `--rate`
|
|
|
|
Specify the maximum transfer frequency you allow curl to use - in number of
|
|
transfer starts per time unit (sometimes called request rate). Without this
|
|
option, curl starts the next transfer as fast as possible.
|
|
|
|
If given several URLs and a transfer completes faster than the allowed rate,
|
|
curl waits until the next transfer is started to maintain the requested
|
|
rate. This option has no effect when --parallel is used.
|
|
|
|
The request rate is provided as "N/U" where N is an integer number and U is a
|
|
time unit. Supported units are 's' (second), 'm' (minute), 'h' (hour) and 'd'
|
|
/(day, as in a 24 hour unit). The default time unit, if no "/U" is provided,
|
|
is number of transfers per hour.
|
|
|
|
If curl is told to allow 10 requests per minute, it does not start the next
|
|
request until 6 seconds have elapsed since the previous transfer was started.
|
|
|
|
This function uses millisecond resolution. If the allowed frequency is set
|
|
more than 1000 per second, it instead runs unrestricted.
|
|
|
|
When retrying transfers, enabled with --retry, the separate retry delay logic
|
|
is used and not this setting.
