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
CURLOPT_CLOSESOCKETFUNCTION - callback to socket close replacement
# SYNOPSIS
~~~c
#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.
# EXAMPLE
~~~c
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.
