Yes, since libcurl doesn't really save content to files/directories. It 
delivers the content to a callback.

tldr: --output-dir [directory] comes in curl 7.73.0 The curl options to store 
the contents of a URL into a local file, -o (--output) and -O (--remote-name) 
were part of curl 4.0, the first ever release, already in March 1998. Even 
though we often get to hear from users that they can’t remember which of the 
letter O’s to use, they’ve worked exactly the same for over twenty years.
