To use printf safely, do printf "%s" "mystring"

Since the first string is a format string, % characters in it will be interpreted as formatting specifiers. %s means 'string'. So %s by itself will print things as they're given without a newline.

If you'd just done printf "mystring" it might do strange things if mystring has a % in it anywhere.

CURLOPT_NOPROGRESS(3)					     curl_easy_setopt options					     CURLOPT_NOPROGRESS(3)

NAME
CURLOPT_NOPROGRESS - switch off the progress meter SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h> CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_NOPROGRESS, long onoff); DESCRIPTION
If onoff is to 1, it tells the library to shut off the progress meter completely for requests done with this handle. It will also prevent the CURLOPT_PROGRESSFUNCTION(3) from getting called. Future versions of libcurl are likely to not have any built-in progress meter at all. DEFAULT
1, meaning it normally runs without a progress meter. PROTOCOLS
All EXAMPLE
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init(); if(curl) { curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "http://example.com"); /* enable progress meter */ curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_NOPROGRESS, 0L); /* Perform the request */ curl_easy_perform(curl); } AVAILABILITY
Always RETURN VALUE
Returns CURLE_OK. SEE ALSO
CURLOPT_PROGRESSFUNCTION(3), libcurl 7.54.0 March 06, 2016 CURLOPT_NOPROGRESS(3)
