! 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
! 12: different ports.
! 13:
! 14: By specifying '*' as host you can tell curl to resolve any host and specific
! 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.
! 17:
! 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.
! 20:
! 21: Support for providing the IP address within [brackets] was added in 7.57.0.
! 22:
! 23: Support for providing multiple IP addresses per entry was added in 7.59.0.
! 24:
! 25: Support for resolving with wildcard was added in 7.64.0.
! 26:
! 27: This option can be used many times to add many host names to resolve.
