1 Long: output 2 Arg: <file> 3 Short: o 4 Help: Write to file instead of stdout 5 See-also: remote-name remote-name-all remote-header-name 6 --- 7 Write output to <file> instead of stdout. If you are using {} or [] to fetch 8 multiple documents, you can use '#' followed by a number in the <file> 9 specifier. That variable will be replaced with the current string for the URL 10 being fetched. Like in: 11 12 curl http://{one,two}.example.com -o "file_#1.txt" 13 14 or use several variables like: 15 16 curl http://{site,host}.host[1-5].com -o "#1_#2" 17 18 You may use this option as many times as the number of URLs you have. For 19 example, if you specify two URLs on the same command line, you can use it like 20 this: 21 22 curl -o aa example.com -o bb example.net 23 24 and the order of the -o options and the URLs doesn't matter, just that the 25 first -o is for the first URL and so on, so the above command line can also be 26 written as 27 28 curl example.com example.net -o aa -o bb 29 30 See also the --create-dirs option to create the local directories 31 dynamically. Specifying the output as '-' (a single dash) will force the 32 output to be done to stdout. 33
