        !             5: ---
        !             6: Provide a custom address for a specific host and port pair. Using this, you
        !             7: can make the curl requests(s) use a specified address and prevent the
        !             8: otherwise normally resolved address to be used. Consider it a sort of
        !             9: /etc/hosts alternative provided on the command line. The port number should be
        !            10: the number used for the specific protocol the host will be used for. It means
        !            11: you need several entries if you want to provide address for the same host but

        !            15: port pair to the specified address. Wildcard is resolved last so any --resolve
        !            16: with a specific host and port will be used first.

        !            18: The provided address set by this option will be used even if --ipv4 or --ipv6
        !            19: is set to make curl use another IP version.
