# OPTIONS
|
||
|
|
Options start with one or two dashes. Many of the options require an
|
||
|
|
additional value next to them. If provided text does not start with a dash, it
|
||
|
|
is presumed to be and treated as a URL.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The short "single-dash" form of the options, -d for example, may be used with
|
||
|
|
or without a space between it and its value, although a space is a recommended
|
||
|
|
separator. The long "double-dash" form, --data for example, requires a space
|
||
|
|
between it and its value.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Short version options that do not need any additional values can be used
|
||
|
|
immediately next to each other, like for example you can specify all the
|
||
|
|
options *-O*, *-L* and *-v* at once as *-OLv*.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In general, all boolean options are enabled with --**option** and yet again
|
||
|
|
disabled with --**no-**option. That is, you use the same option name but
|
||
|
|
prefix it with "no-". However, in this list we mostly only list and show the
|
||
|
|
*--option* version of them.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When --next is used, it resets the parser state and you start again with a
|
||
|
|
clean option state, except for the options that are "global". Global options
|
||
|
|
retain their values and meaning even after --next.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The following options are global: `%GLOBALS`.
