.\" generated by cd2nroff 0.1 from wcurl.md .TH wcurl 1 "2026-09-02" wcurl .SH NAME \fBwcurl\fP \- a simple wrapper around curl to easily download files. .SH SYNOPSIS \fBwcurl <URL>...\fP \fBwcurl [\--curl\-options <CURL_OPTIONS>]... [\--dry\-run] [\--no\-decode\-filename] [\-o|\-O|\--output <PATH>] [\--] <URL>...\fP \fBwcurl [\--curl\-options=<CURL_OPTIONS>]... [\--dry\-run] [\--no\-decode\-filename] [\--output=<PATH>] [\--] <URL>...\fP \fBwcurl \-V|\--version\fP \fBwcurl \-h|\--help\fP .SH DESCRIPTION \fBwcurl\fP is a simple curl wrapper which lets you use curl to download files without having to remember any parameters. Call \fBwcurl\fP with a list of URLs you want to download and \fBwcurl\fP picks sane defaults. If you need anything more complex, you can provide any of curl\(aqs supported parameters via the \fB\--curl\-options\fP option. Beware that you likely should be using curl directly if your use case is not covered. By default, \fBwcurl\fP does: .IP "* Percent-encode whitespace in URLs;" .IP "* Download multiple URLs in parallel" .nf if the installed curl's version is \\>= 7.66.0 (--parallel); .fi .IP "* Use a total number of 5 parallel connections to the same protocol + hostname + port number target" .nf if the installed curl's version is \\>= 8.16.0 (--parallel-max-host); .fi .IP "* Follow redirects;" .IP "* Automatically choose a filename as output;" .IP "* Avoid overwriting files" .nf if the installed curl's version is \\>= 7.83.0 (--no-clobber); .fi .IP "* Perform retries;" .IP "* Set the downloaded file timestamp" .nf to the value provided by the server, if available; .fi .IP "* Default to https" .nf if the URL does not contain any scheme; .fi .IP "* Disable curl's URL globbing parser" .nf so {} and [] characters in URLs are not treated specially; .fi .IP "* Percent-decode the resulting filename;" .IP "* Use 'index.html' as the default filename" .nf if there is none in the URL. .fi .SH OPTIONS .IP "--curl-options, --curl-options=\<CURL_OPTIONS\>..." Specify extra options to be passed when invoking curl. May be specified more than once. .IP "-o, -O, --output, --output=\<PATH\>" Use the provided output path instead of getting it from the URL. If multiple URLs are provided, resulting files share the same name with a number appended to the end (curl >= 7.83.0). If this option is provided multiple times, only the last value is considered. .IP --no-decode-filename Do not percent\-decode the output filename, even if the percent\-encoding in the URL was done by \fBwcurl\fP, e.g.: The URL contained whitespace. .IP --dry-run Do not actually execute curl, print what would be invoked. .IP "-V, \--version" Print version information. .IP "-h, \--help" Print help message. .SH CURL_OPTIONS Any option supported by curl can be set here. This is not used by \fBwcurl\fP; it is instead forwarded to the curl invocation. .SH URL URL to be downloaded. Anything that is not a parameter is considered an URL. Whitespace is percent\-encoded and the URL is passed to curl, which then performs the parsing. May be specified more than once. .SH EXAMPLES Download a single file: \fBwcurl example.com/filename.txt\fP Download two files in parallel: \fBwcurl example.com/filename1.txt example.com/filename2.txt\fP Download a file passing the \fB\--progress\-bar\fP and \fB\--http2\fP flags to curl: \fBwcurl \--curl\-options="\--progress\-bar \--http2" example.com/filename.txt\fP Resume from an interrupted download. The options necessary to resume the download (\fI\--clobber \--continue\-at \-\fP) must be the \fBlast\fP options specified in \fI\--curl\-options\fP. Note that the only way to resume interrupted downloads is to allow wcurl to overwrite the destination file: \fBwcurl \--curl\-options="\--clobber \--continue\-at \-" example.com/filename.txt\fP Download multiple files without a limit of concurrent connections per host (the default limit is 5): \fBwcurl \--curl\-options="\--parallel\-max\-host 0" example.com/filename1.txt example.com/filename2.txt\fP .SH AUTHORS .nf Samuel Henrique \\<samueloph@debian.org\\> Sergio Durigan Junior \\<sergiodj@debian.org\\> and many contributors, see the AUTHORS file. .fi .SH REPORTING BUGS If you experience any problems with \fBwcurl\fP that you do not experience with curl, submit an issue on GitHub: https://github.com/curl/wcurl .SH COPYRIGHT \fBwcurl\fP is licensed under the curl license .SH SEE ALSO .BR curl (1), .BR trurl (1)
