-O file
--output-document=file
The documents will not be written to the appropriate files, but all
will be concatenated together and written to file. If file already
exists, it will be overwritten. If the file is -, the documents
will be written to standard output. Including this option automat‐
ically sets the number of tries to 1. Note that when --output-docu‐
ment is specified, --convert-links is ignored.
If you're only downloading one file, it's effectively a rename.
