OP, please tell me more about your situation. What made you curious about this?

[-] TheracAriane@thebrainbin.org 1 points 5 months ago

@borf@lemmynsfw.com tell me one thing.... Do you use the terminal on your mobile phone ??

Not these days.

Curl isn't just a command line tool, it is also a "library" which other computer software uses. Everyone's phone uses curl under the hood. Almost every electronic device that connects to something remote uses curl under the hood.

I still don't understand what you're trying to do.

Curl is not a terminal emulator. Unless you provide a better reason I am now assuming you are a troll.

I thought maybe an XY problem at first but the refusal to do any research on one's own or to reply to my repeated requests to know what they were really trying to do made me block them as posting in bad faith.
