| Write output to <file> instead of stdout. If you are using {} or [] to fetch |
| multiple documents, you should quote the URL and you can use '#' followed by a |
| number in the <file> specifier. That variable is replaced with the current |
| string for the URL being fetched. Like in: |
| |
| curl "http://{one,two}.example.com" -o "file_#1.txt" |
| |
| or use several variables like: |
| |
| curl "http://{site,host}.host[1-5].example" -o "#1_#2" |
| |
| You may use this option as many times as the number of URLs you have. For |
| example, if you specify two URLs on the same command line, you can use it like |
| this: |
| |
| curl -o aa example.com -o bb example.net |
| |
| and the order of the -o options and the URLs does not matter, just that the |
| first -o is for the first URL and so on, so the above command line can also be |
| written as |
| |
| curl example.com example.net -o aa -o bb |
| |
| See also the --create-dirs option to create the local directories |
| dynamically. Specifying the output as '-' (a single dash) passes the output to |
| stdout. |
| |
| To suppress response bodies, you can redirect output to /dev/null: |
| |
| curl example.com -o /dev/null |
| |
| Or for Windows: |
| |
| curl example.com -o nul |
