.SH OUTPUT
|
||||||
|
If not told otherwise, curl writes the received data to stdout. It can be
|
||||||
|
instructed to instead save that data into a local file, using the --output or
|
||||||
|
--remote-name options. If curl is given multiple URLs to transfer on the
|
||||||
|
command line, it similarly needs multiple options for where to save them.
|

|

||||||
|
curl does not parse or otherwise "understand" the content it gets or writes as
|
||||||
|
output. It does no encoding or decoding, unless explictly asked so with
|
||||||
|
dedicated command line options.
