Need some help in linux commands for my project

What does curl command do in Linux? Can anyone explain with example

curl is generally used to interact with webservers, but can use other protocols. A google search for curl will give you examples -- https://curl.haxx.se/docs/httpscripting.html

It is most often used to download (or upload) files to and from the internet - from the command line. Or to test a connection to a server and/or if a specific protocol is working on a remote server. It is similar to the 'wget' command, except it is much more robust and can utilize more protocols

example;
# curl -O https://domain.com/file.zip
would download 'file.zip' from domain.com (example)

Here are some useful links,

I just started learning Linux a couple of weeks back. I found an awesome article where you can find List of Linux Commands here. It's pretty helpful and very clear.
