21# `--verbose`
22
23Makes curl verbose during the operation. Useful for debugging and seeing
24what's going on under the hood. A line starting with \> means header data sent
25by curl, \< means header data received by curl that is hidden in normal cases,
26and a line starting with * means additional info provided by curl.
27
28If you only want HTTP headers in the output, --include or --dump-header might
29be more suitable options.
30
31If you think this option still does not give you enough details, consider using
32--trace or --trace-ascii instead.
33
34Note that verbose output of curl activities and network traffic might contain
35sensitive data, including usernames, credentials or secret data content. Be
36aware and be careful when sharing trace logs with others.
