    2: Arg: <host:port:address[,address]...>

    4: Added: 7.21.3
    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
   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.
