curl is a big subject.  While it's very useful to people who write scripts etc,
on many platforms, the whole manual is aimed at programmers using it.
Inevitably a lot of the information is quite detailed.   

If you're looking to learn more about one subject, getting distracted into 
learning about curl is possibly not a great idea!

For a quick summary of some basic uses of curl, see

  https://curl.se/docs/manual.html

For an longer, but much more educational read, try

  https://everything.curl.dev/

which was written by curl's author.
