OP, please tell me more about your situation. What made you curious about this?
@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.
@borf@lemmynsfw.com l just saw that it runs on cli, and l was wondering if it can be used as a terminal emulator.
Curl is not a terminal emulator. Unless you provide a better reason I am now assuming you are a troll.
Not a troll. Just a kid trying to figure out how to browse the web with a terminal.

@borf@lemmynsfw.com l'm not a troll. I discovered it in Codeberg, and it raised my curiosity. Probably l don't have any use for it at this point of time.
