--version followed by --no-version does not turn off version output

[u20221022]

I did this

curl.exe --version --no-version "https://curl.se/"

I expected the following

Какой-нибудь глюк типа «not-a-bug» (#10459 и другие). Иначе не стал бы время тратить на такую примитивную проверку.

Please tell us in English. I think you are saying you expect --version followed by --no-version to turn off version output? The code says there is not supposed to be output for --no-version, but if --version was already specified it's too late because the code is going to show the version output and not parse --no-version. I'm tempted to leave this as is.

curl/src/tool_getparam.c

Lines 2353 to 2356 in 7ce140b

	case 'V':
	if(toggle) /* --no-version yields no output! */
	return PARAM_VERSION_INFO_REQUESTED;
	break;

[jzakrzewski]

In many tools specifying "-V" / "--version" causes complete different code path that disregards any other parameter and just shows the version. So I think it's OK how it it.

I don't think this is a bug.

«Disable it again with --no-version.»(©curl --manual)

I don't think this is a bug.

Me too. I think it is a lie.

[bagder]

It would help us if you actually explained what you talk about.

I now assume you talk about text in the curl man page that says --no-version works. It does indeed say this because it is automatically added because how the option is said to work: Multi: boolean.

[u20221022]

Sorry, I do not know English well and I do not quite understand you (in particular: «Multi: boolean»).

Binary options or not:
--version/--no-version
--manual/--no-manual
--help/--no-help

Correct the manual, please.

What about this:
curl.exe -I --silent --no-silent "htps://curl.se/"
curl.exe -I --no-silent --silent "htps://curl.se/"
