| Help: Fail on first transfer error, do not continue |

| Category: curl |
| --- |
| Fail and exit on the first detected transfer error. |
| |
| When curl is used to do multiple transfers on the command line, it will |
| attempt to operate on each given URL, one by one. By default, it will ignore |
| errors if there are more URLs given and the last URL's success will determine |
| the error code curl returns. So early failures will be "hidden" by subsequent |
| successful transfers. |
| |
| Using this option, curl will instead return an error on the first transfer |
| that fails, independent of the amount of URLs that are given on the command |
| line. This way, no transfer failures go undetected by scripts and similar. |
| |
| This option is global and does not need to be specified for each use of --next. |
| |
| This option does not imply --fail, which causes transfers to fail due to the |
| server's HTTP status code. You can combine the two options, however note --fail |
| is not global and is therefore contained by --next. |
