12---
13Makes curl verbose during the operation. Useful for debugging and seeing
14what's going on "under the hood". A line starting with '>' means "header data"
15sent by curl, '<' means "header data" received by curl that is hidden in
16normal cases, and a line starting with '*' means additional info provided by
17curl.

19If you only want HTTP headers in the output, --include might be the option
20you are looking for.
21
22If you think this option still does not give you enough details, consider using
23--trace or --trace-ascii instead.
24
25This option is global and does not need to be specified for each use of
26--next.
27
28Use --silent to make curl really quiet.
