1.1       misho       1: Long: fail-early
                      2: Help: Fail on first transfer error, do not continue
                      3: Added: 7.52.0
                      4: ---
                      5: Fail and exit on the first detected transfer error.
                      6: 
                      7: When curl is used to do multiple transfers on the command line, it will
                      8: attempt to operate on each given URL, one by one. By default, it will ignore
                      9: errors if there are more URLs given and the last URL's success will determine
                     10: the error code curl returns. So early failures will be "hidden" by subsequent
                     11: successful transfers.
                     12: 
                     13: Using this option, curl will instead return an error on the first transfer
                     14: that fails, independent of the amount of URLs that are given on the command
                     15: line. This way, no transfer failures go undetected by scripts and similar.
                     16: 
                     17: This option is global and does not need to be specified for each use of --next.
                     18: 
                     19: This option does not imply --fail, which causes transfers to fail due to the
                     20: server's HTTP status code. You can combine the two options, however note --fail
                     21: is not global and is therefore contained by --next.
