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.

echo `echo ` doesn't echoes anything. And it's logic. But
echo `echo `echo ` ` does echoes "echo". What's the logic of it? the `echo `echo ` inside of the whole (first) echo, echoes nothing, so the first echo have to echo nothing but echoes "echo"

curlopt_noprogress
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.
