curl is a big subject. While it's very useful to people who write scripts etc,
on many platforms, the whole manual is aimed at programmers using it.
Inevitably a lot of the information is quite detailed.
If you're looking to learn more about one subject, getting distracted into
learning about curl is possibly not a great idea!
For a quick summary of some basic uses of curl, see
https://curl.se/docs/manual.html
For an longer, but much more educational read, try
https://everything.curl.dev/
which was written by curl's author.
