Use `-` as filename to have 23the output sent to stdout. Use `%` as filename to send the output to stderr. 24 25This is similar to --trace, but leaves out the hex part and only shows the 26ASCII part of the dump. It makes smaller output that might be easier to read 27for untrained humans. 28 29Note that verbose output of curl activities and network traffic might contain 30sensitive data, including usernames, credentials or secret data content. Be 31aware and be careful when sharing trace logs with others. 32
