If the 20port number is not specified, it is assumed at port 1080. 21 22To specify proxy on a unix domain socket, use localhost for host, e.g. 23`socks5://localhost/path/to/socket.sock` 24 25This option overrides any previous use of --proxy, as they are mutually 26exclusive. 27 28This option is superfluous since you can specify a socks5 proxy with --proxy 29using a socks5:// protocol prefix. (Added in 7.21.7) 30 31--preproxy can be used to specify a SOCKS proxy at the same time --proxy is 32used with an HTTP/HTTPS proxy (added in 7.52.0). In such a case, curl first 33connects to the SOCKS proxy and then connects (through SOCKS) to the HTTP or 34HTTPS proxy. 35 36This option (as well as --socks4) does not work with IPV6, FTPS or LDAP. 37
