+---
+Makes curl verbose during the operation. Useful for debugging and seeing
+what's going on "under the hood". A line starting with '>' means "header data"
+sent by curl, '<' means "header data" received by curl that is hidden in
+normal cases, and a line starting with '*' means additional info provided by
+curl.
+
+If you only want HTTP headers in the output, --include might be the option
+you're looking for.
+
+If you think this option still doesn't give you enough details, consider using
+--trace or --trace-ascii instead.
+
+Use --silent to make curl really quiet.
