| 3 | Help: Resolve the host+port to this address |

| 5 | --- |
| 6 | Provide a custom address for a specific host and port pair. Using this, you |
| 7 | can make the curl requests(s) use a specified address and prevent the |
| 8 | otherwise normally resolved address to be used. Consider it a sort of |
| 9 | /etc/hosts alternative provided on the command line. The port number should be |
| 10 | the number used for the specific protocol the host will be used for. It means |
| 11 | you need several entries if you want to provide address for the same host but |
| 12 | different ports. |
| 13 | |
| 14 | The provided address set by this option will be used even if --ipv4 or --ipv6 |
| 15 | is set to make curl use another IP version. |
| 16 | |
| 17 | This option can be used many times to add many host names to resolve. |
