-o, --output

Follow on from #4

Write output to instead of stdout. If you are using {} or [] to fetch multiple documents, you can use '#' followed by a number in the specifier. That variable will be replaced with the current string for the URL being fetched. Like in:

curl http://{one,two}.example.com -o "file_#1.txt"

or use several variables like:

curl http://{site,host}.host[1-5].com -o "#1_#2"

You may use this option as many times as the number of URLs you have. For example, if you specify two URLs on the same command line, you can use it like this:

curl -o aa example.com -o bb example.net

and the order of the -o options and the URLs doesn't matter, just that the first -o is for the first URL and so on, so the above command line can also be written as

curl example.com example.net -o aa -o bb

See also the --create-dirs option to create the local directories dynamically. Specifying the output as '-' (a single dash) will force the output to be done to stdout.

See also -O, --remote-name and --remote-name-all and -J, --remote-header-name.
