Common options

-N disable any authentication prompt. If authentication is required, dav will abort.

-i disable TLS certificate verification

-v enable verbose output. Internally CURLOPT_VERBOSE is set to 1 and verbose output is printed on stderr.

Most commands have the -p and -c options for enabling or disabling encryption. If encryption is not configured for a repository, but the -c option is specified, encryption/decryption is enabled. When enabled, all commands handle encrypted resource names. The -p options disables any encryption/decryption. See encryption for details.

Aliases

Some commands have alternate names. For example dav ls is the same as dav list.
