error occurred as \fI<curl/curl.h>\fP defines. See the \fIlibcurl-errors(3)\fP
man page for the full list with descriptions.

If you try to set an option that libcurl doesn't know about, perhaps because
the library is too old to support it or the option was removed in a recent
version, this function will return \fICURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION\fP. If support for
the option was disabled at compile-time, it will return
\fICURLE_NOT_BUILT_IN\fP.
