docs/libcurl: generate PROTOCOLS from meta-data
Remove the PROTOCOLS section from the source files completely and
instead generate them based on the header data in the curldown files.

It also generates TLS backend information for options marked for TLS as
protocol.

NAME

CURLINFO_REFERER - get the used referrer request header

SYNOPSIS

#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_easy_getinfo(CURL *handle, CURLINFO_REFERER, char **hdrp);

DESCRIPTION

Pass in a pointer to a char pointer and get the referrer header used in the most recent request.

The hdrp pointer is NULL or points to private memory you MUST NOT free - it gets freed when you call curl_easy_cleanup(3) on the corresponding CURL handle.

EXAMPLE

int main(void)
{
  CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
  if(curl) {
    CURLcode res;
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com");
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_REFERER, "https://example.org/referrer");
    res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
    if(res == CURLE_OK) {
      char *hdr = NULL;
      curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_REFERER, &hdr);
      if(hdr)
        printf("Referrer header: %s\n", hdr);
    }
    curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
  }
}

AVAILABILITY

Added in 7.76.0

RETURN VALUE

Returns CURLE_OK if the option is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not.
