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_COOKIELIST - get all known cookies

SYNOPSIS

#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_easy_getinfo(CURL *handle, CURLINFO_COOKIELIST,
                           struct curl_slist **cookies);

DESCRIPTION

Pass a pointer to a 'struct curl_slist *' to receive a linked-list of all cookies curl knows (expired ones, too). Do not forget to call curl_slist_free_all(3) on the list after it has been used. If there are no cookies (cookies for the handle have not been enabled or simply none have been received) the 'struct curl_slist *' is made a NULL pointer.

Since 7.43.0 cookies that were imported in the Set-Cookie format without a domain name are not exported by this option.

EXAMPLE

int main(void)
{
  CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
  if(curl) {
    CURLcode res;
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com");

    /* enable the cookie engine */
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, "");

    res = curl_easy_perform(curl);

    if(!res) {
      /* extract all known cookies */
      struct curl_slist *cookies = NULL;
      res = curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_COOKIELIST, &cookies);
      if(!res && cookies) {
        /* a linked list of cookies in cookie file format */
        struct curl_slist *each = cookies;
        while(each) {
          printf("%s\n", each->data);
          each = each->next;
        }
        /* we must free these cookies when we are done */
        curl_slist_free_all(cookies);
      }
    }
    curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
  }
}

AVAILABILITY

RETURN VALUE
