docs: introduce "curldown" for libcurl man page format
curldown is this new file format for libcurl man pages. It is markdown
inspired with differences:

- Each file has a set of leading headers with meta-data
- Supports a small subset of markdown
- Uses .md file extensions for editors/IDE/GitHub to treat them nicely
- Generates man pages very similar to the previous ones
- Generates man pages that still convert nicely to HTML on the website
- Detects and highlights mentions of curl symbols automatically (when
  their man page section is specified)

tools:

- cd2nroff: converts from curldown to nroff man page
- nroff2cd: convert an (old) nroff man page to curldown
- cdall: convert many nroff pages to curldown versions
- cd2cd: verifies and updates a curldown to latest curldown

This setup generates .3 versions of all the curldown versions at build time.

CI:

Since the documentation is now technically markdown in the eyes of many
things, the CI runs many more tests and checks on this documentation,
including proselint, link checkers and tests that make sure we capitalize the
first letter after a period...

NAME

CURLINFO_FTP_ENTRY_PATH - get entry path in FTP server

SYNOPSIS

#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_easy_getinfo(CURL *handle, CURLINFO_FTP_ENTRY_PATH, char **path);

DESCRIPTION

Pass a pointer to a char pointer to receive a pointer to a string holding the path of the entry path. That is the initial path libcurl ended up in when logging on to the remote FTP server. This stores a NULL as pointer if something is wrong.

The path pointer is NULL or points to private memory. You MUST NOT free

  • it gets freed when you call curl_easy_cleanup(3) on the corresponding CURL handle.

PROTOCOLS

FTP(S) and SFTP

EXAMPLE

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

    res = curl_easy_perform(curl);

    if(!res) {
      /* extract the entry path */
      char *ep = NULL;
      res = curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_FTP_ENTRY_PATH, &ep);
      if(!res && ep) {
        printf("Entry path was: %s\n", ep);
      }
    }
    curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
  }
}

AVAILABILITY

Added in 7.15.4. Works for SFTP since 7.21.4

RETURN VALUE

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