Use the specified SOCKS5 proxy - but resolve the host name locally. If the
port number is not specified, it is assumed at port 1080.
-This option overrides any previous use of --proxy, as they are mutually
-exclusive.

Since 7.21.7, this option is superfluous since you can specify a socks5 proxy
with --proxy using a socks5:// protocol prefix.
+This option typically overrides any previous use of --proxy; however since
+7.52.0 if --proxy is used to specify an HTTP or HTTPS proxy then curl will
+attempt to use it with the SOCKS proxy. In such a case curl first connects to
+the SOCKS proxy and then connects (through SOCKS) to the HTTP or HTTPS proxy.

If this option is used several times, the last one will be used.
This option (as well as --socks4) does not work with IPV6, FTPS or LDAP.
