There is an issue with man page generation in 8.12.1 that results in the
--write-out section (listing all the possible values that can be written out)
being mostly blank (425 lines of text missing). This is the kind of thing that
users have to go to the man page to find, so finding it missing can be a
serious impediment to using the option.
You can see if your curl is affected by running:
curl --manual | grep -A10 write-out | head -12
If the second line starts with "3", it's affected. Applying
https://github.com/curl/curl/commit/c561c94ec3e2259b023c228e3b0c5244c27bcdd3
fixes it.
