| 11 | When used in conjunction with the --output, --remote-header-name, |
| 12 | --remote-name, or --remote-name-all options, curl avoids overwriting files |
| 13 | that already exist. Instead, a dot and a number gets appended to the name |
| 14 | of the file that would be created, up to filename.100 after which it will not |
| 15 | create any file. |
| 16 | |
| 17 | Note that this is the negated option name documented. You can thus use |
| 18 | --clobber to enforce the clobbering, even if --remote-header-name or -J is |
| 19 | specified. |
