The answer is: it depends. For options like CURLOPT_URL, you need to
consult something like RFC3896 (URL syntax). For CURLOPT_NETRC_FILE, it
depends on what your filesystem uses and what the C API to access the
filesystem expects. For CURLOPT_USERPWD, you need to consult RFC2616
(HTTP) or another RFC depending on the authentication system in use.
For CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS it depends on the remote web app.
And all the above is dependent on whether CURL_DOES_CONVERSIONS was
enabled during compilation. So none of these can therefore really be
accurately documented in the libcurl documentation.

Luckily, it usually pretty obvious from the context what each option needs.
