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_CHUNK_DATA - pointer passed to the FTP chunk callbacks

SYNOPSIS

#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_CHUNK_DATA, void *pointer);

DESCRIPTION

Pass a pointer that is untouched by libcurl and passed as the ptr argument to the CURLOPT_CHUNK_BGN_FUNCTION(3) and CURLOPT_CHUNK_END_FUNCTION(3).

DEFAULT

NULL

EXAMPLE

#include <stdio.h>

struct callback_data {
   FILE *output;
};

static long file_is_coming(struct curl_fileinfo *finfo,
                           void *ptr,
                           int remains)
{
  struct callback_data *data = ptr;
  printf("%3d %40s %10luB ", remains, finfo->filename,
         (unsigned long)finfo->size);

  switch(finfo->filetype) {
  case CURLFILETYPE_DIRECTORY:
    printf(" DIR\n");
    break;
  case CURLFILETYPE_FILE:
    printf("FILE ");
    break;
  default:
    printf("OTHER\n");
    break;
  }

  if(finfo->filetype == CURLFILETYPE_FILE) {
    /* do not transfer files >= 50B */
    if(finfo->size > 50) {
      printf("SKIPPED\n");
      return CURL_CHUNK_BGN_FUNC_SKIP;
    }

    data->output = fopen(finfo->filename, "wb");
    if(!data->output) {
      return CURL_CHUNK_BGN_FUNC_FAIL;
    }
  }

  return CURL_CHUNK_BGN_FUNC_OK;
}

int main()
{
  /* data for callback */
  struct callback_data callback_info;

  CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();

  /* callback is called before download of concrete file started */
  curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_CHUNK_BGN_FUNCTION, file_is_coming);
  curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_CHUNK_DATA, &callback_info);
}
