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_STREAM_DEPENDS - stream this transfer depends on

SYNOPSIS

#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_STREAM_DEPENDS,
                          CURL *dephandle);

DESCRIPTION

Pass a CURL pointer in dephandle to identify the stream within the same connection that this stream is depending upon. This option clears the exclusive bit and is mutually exclusive to the CURLOPT_STREAM_DEPENDS_E(3) option.

The spec says "Including a dependency expresses a preference to allocate resources to the identified stream rather than to the dependent stream."

This option can be set during transfer.

dephandle must not be the same as handle, that makes this function return an error. It must be another easy handle, and it also needs to be a handle of a transfer that is about to be sent over the same HTTP/2 connection for this option to have an actual effect.

DEFAULT

NULL

EXAMPLE

int main(void)
{
  CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
  CURL *curl2 = curl_easy_init(); /* a second handle */
  if(curl) {
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com/one");

    /* the second depends on the first */
    curl_easy_setopt(curl2, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com/two");
    curl_easy_setopt(curl2, CURLOPT_STREAM_DEPENDS, curl);

    /* then add both to a multi handle and transfer them! */
  }
}

AVAILABILITY

Added in 7.46.0

RETURN VALUE

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