1.1       misho       1: Long: output
                      2: Arg: <file>
                      3: Short: o
                      4: Help: Write to file instead of stdout
                      5: See-also: remote-name remote-name-all remote-header-name
                      6: ---
                      7: Write output to <file> instead of stdout. If you are using {} or [] to fetch
                      8: multiple documents, you should quote the URL and you can use '#' followed by a
                      9: number in the <file> specifier. That variable will be replaced with the current
                     10: string for the URL being fetched. Like in:
                     11: 
                     12:  curl "http://{one,two}.example.com" -o "file_#1.txt"
                     13: 
                     14: or use several variables like:
                     15: 
                     16:  curl "http://{site,host}.host[1-5].com" -o "#1_#2"
                     17: 
                     18: You may use this option as many times as the number of URLs you have. For
                     19: example, if you specify two URLs on the same command line, you can use it like
                     20: this:
                     21: 
                     22:   curl -o aa example.com -o bb example.net
                     23: 
                     24: and the order of the -o options and the URLs doesn't matter, just that the
                     25: first -o is for the first URL and so on, so the above command line can also be
                     26: written as
                     27: 
                     28:   curl example.com example.net -o aa -o bb
                     29: 
                     30: See also the --create-dirs option to create the local directories
                     31: dynamically. Specifying the output as '-' (a single dash) will force the
                     32: output to be done to stdout.
