+.TH CURLOPT_VERBOSE 3 "16 Jun 2014" "libcurl 7.37.0" "curl_easy_setopt options"
+.SH NAME
+CURLOPT_VERBOSE \- set verbose mode on/off
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+#include <curl/curl.h>
+
+CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, long onoff);
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+Set the \fIonoff\fP parameter to 1 to make the library display a lot of
+verbose information about its operations on this \fIhandle\fP. Very useful for
+libcurl and/or protocol debugging and understanding. The verbose information
+will be sent to stderr, or the stream set with \fICURLOPT_STDERR(3)\fP. The
+default value for this parameter is 0, meaning disabled.
+
+You hardly ever want this set in production use, you will almost always want
+this when you debug/report problems.
+
+To also get all the protocol data sent and received, consider using the
+\fICURLOPT_DEBUGFUNCTION(3)\fP.
