Hey
curl has always had its man page built in and visible with the curl -M option.
This was originally motivated by the platforms that lack a decent man page
system.
In addition to the man page, it also concatenates the 'docs/MANUAL' file at
the end. My guess is that this is completely useless and that hardly anyone
ever read that far down the -M output.
My plan is to remove the MANUAL from the -M output. The text is gzipped in
most installs so it would only mean removing about 10K of data.
curl -M right now outputs 3723 lines. Without the MANUAL it goes down to 2681
lines. A 1042 lines delta.
Objections?
