Example:

How download multiple files with cURL?

The person is unsure how to store results from several different URLs in different files.The manual page describes how to do exactly that.

In the past I have answered several questions by copy pasting from a man page and maybe providing additional examples.

Is that sort of answer something the general community wants to see?How about questions like that?

If I were to vote to close such questions, which reason should be given?
