+Long: fail-early
+Help: Fail on first transfer error, do not continue
+Added: 7.52.0
+---
+Fail and exit on first detected error.
+
+When curl is used to do multiple transfers on the command line, it will
+attempt to operate on each given URL, one by one. By default, it will ignore
+errors if there are more URLs given and the last URL's success will determine
+the error code curl returns. So early failures will be "hidden" by subsequent
+successful transfers.
+
+Using this option, curl will instead return an error on the first transfers
+that fails, independent on the amount of more URLs that are given on the
+command line. This way, no transfer failures go undetected by scripts and
+similar.
+
+This option will apply for all given URLs even if you use --next.
