Use `-` as filename to have 23 the output sent to stdout. Use `%` as filename to send the output to stderr. 24 25 This is similar to --trace, but leaves out the hex part and only shows the 26 ASCII part of the dump. It makes smaller output that might be easier to read 27 for untrained humans. 28 29 Note that verbose output of curl activities and network traffic might contain 30 sensitive data, including usernames, credentials or secret data content. Be 31 aware and be careful when sharing trace logs with others.
