PROGRESS METER
curl normally displays a progress meter during operations, indicating
the amount of transferred data, transfer speeds and estimated time
left, etc. The progress meter displays number of bytes and the speeds
are in bytes per second. The suffixes (k, M, G, T, P) are 1024 based.
For example 1k is 1024 bytes. 1M is 1048576 bytes.
curl displays this data to the terminal by default, so if you invoke
curl to do an operation and it is about to write data to the terminal,
it disables the progress meter as otherwise it would mess up the output
mixing progress meter and response data.
If you want a progress meter for HTTP POST or PUT requests, you need to
redirect the response output to a file, using shell redirect (>), -o
[file] or similar.
It is not the same case for FTP upload as that operation does not spit
out any response data to the terminal.
If you prefer a progress "bar" instead of the regular meter, -# is your
friend.
Well also mention how to turn it off!
Maybe the only way to turn it off is to not use -o file
but instead use > file.
If alas that is the recommended case, please state so.
Wait, I found
-s, --silent
Silent or quiet mode. Don't show progress meter or error mes-
sages. Makes Curl mute. It will still output the data you ask
for, potentially even to the terminal/stdout unless you redirect
it.
below. OK please also mention -s above.
And now I also just happened to luckily find
-S, --show-error
When used with -s it makes curl show an error message if it
fails.
even farther below. OK be sure the -s paragraph mentions -S too!
So in conclusion, make sure the PROGRESS METER paragraph mentions -s,
and make sure the -s paragraph mentions -S. Thank you.
