Many of the options require an 5additional value next to them. If provided text does not start with a dash, it 6is presumed to be and treated as a URL. 7 8The short "single-dash" form of the options, -d for example, may be used with 9or without a space between it and its value, although a space is a recommended 10separator. The long "double-dash" form, --data for example, requires a space 11between it and its value. 12 13Short version options that do not need any additional values can be used 14immediately next to each other, like for example you can specify all the 15options *-O*, *-L* and *-v* at once as *-OLv*. 16 17In general, all boolean options are enabled with --**option** and yet again 18disabled with --**no-**option. That is, you use the same option name but 19prefix it with "no-". However, in this list we mostly only list and show the 20*--option* version of them. 21 22When --next is used, it resets the parser state and you start again with a 23clean option state, except for the options that are "global". Global options 24retain their values and meaning even after --next. 25 26The following options are global: `%GLOBALS`. 27
