| When used in conjunction with the --output, --remote-header-name, |
| --remote-name, or --remote-name-all options, curl avoids overwriting files |
| that already exist. Instead, a dot and a number gets appended to the name |
| of the file that would be created, up to filename.100 after which it will not |
| create any file. |
| |
| Note that this is the negated option name documented. You can thus use |
| --clobber to enforce the clobbering, even if --remote-header-name or -J is |
| specified. |
