Help: Write to file instead of stdout

Write output to <file> instead of stdout. If you are using {} or [] to fetch
multiple documents, you can use '#' followed by a number in the <file>
specifier. That variable will be replaced with the current string for the URL
being fetched. Like in:
curl http://{one,two}.example.com -o "file_#1.txt"
or use several variables like:
curl http://{site,host}.host[1-5].com -o "#1_#2"
You may use this option as many times as the number of URLs you have. For
example, if you specify two URLs on the same command line, you can use it like
this:
curl -o aa example.com -o bb example.net
and the order of the -o options and the URLs doesn't matter, just that the
first -o is for the first URL and so on, so the above command line can also be
written as
curl example.com example.net -o aa -o bb
See also the --create-dirs option to create the local directories
dynamically. Specifying the output as '-' (a single dash) will force the
output to be done to stdout.
