                      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

                     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.
