docs: make each libcurl man specify protocol(s)
The mandatory header now has a mandatory list of protocols for which the
manpage is relevant.

Most man pages already has a "PROTOCOLS" section, but this introduces a
stricter way to specify the relevant protocols.

cd2nroff verifies that at least one protocol is mentioned (which can be
`*`).

This information is not used just yet, but A) the PROTOCOLS section can
now instead get generated and get a unified wording across all manpages
and B) this allows us to more reliably filter/search for protocol
specific manpages/options.

Closes #13166

NAME

CURLOPT_CLOSESOCKETFUNCTION - callback to socket close replacement

SYNOPSIS

#include <curl/curl.h>

int closesocket_callback(void *clientp, curl_socket_t item);

CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_CLOSESOCKETFUNCTION,
                          closesocket_callback);

DESCRIPTION

Pass a pointer to your callback function, which should match the prototype shown above.

This callback function gets called by libcurl instead of the close(3) or closesocket(3) call when sockets are closed (not for any other file descriptors). This is pretty much the reverse to the CURLOPT_OPENSOCKETFUNCTION(3) option. Return 0 to signal success and 1 if there was an error.

The clientp pointer is set with CURLOPT_CLOSESOCKETDATA(3). item is the socket libcurl wants to be closed.

DEFAULT

By default libcurl uses the standard socket close function.

PROTOCOLS

All

EXAMPLE

struct priv {
  void *custom;
};

static int closesocket(void *clientp, curl_socket_t item)
{
  struct priv *my = clientp;
  printf("our ptr: %p\n", my->custom);

  printf("libcurl wants to close %d now\n", (int)item);
  return 0;
}

int main(void)
{
  struct priv myown;
  CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();

  /* call this function to close sockets */
  curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_CLOSESOCKETFUNCTION, closesocket);
  curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_CLOSESOCKETDATA, &myown);

  curl_easy_perform(curl);
  curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
}

AVAILABILITY

Added in 7.21.7

RETURN VALUE

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