# `--output`
|
|
|
|
Write output to the given file instead of stdout. If you are using globbing to
|
|
fetch multiple documents, you should quote the URL and you can use `#`
|
|
followed by a number in the filename. That variable is then 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
