tidy-up: OS names
Use these words and casing more consistently across text, comments and
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.

--socks5

Use the specified SOCKS5 proxy - but resolve the hostname locally. If the port number is not specified, it is assumed at port 1080.

To specify proxy on a Unix domain socket, use localhost for host, e.g. socks5://localhost/path/to/socket.sock

This option overrides any previous use of --proxy, as they are mutually exclusive.

This option is superfluous since you can specify a socks5 proxy with --proxy using a socks5:// protocol prefix. (Added in 7.21.7)

--preproxy can be used to specify a SOCKS proxy at the same time --proxy is used with an HTTP/HTTPS proxy (added in 7.52.0). In such a case, curl first connects to the SOCKS proxy and then connects (through SOCKS) to the HTTP or HTTPS proxy.

This option does not work with FTPS or LDAP.
