"What Does -k Do in the Curl Command in Linux? Can Someone Explain?"

Hey everyone,
I’ve been messing around with the curl command in Linux, and I came across the `-k` option. I’m a bit confused about what it actually does. Like, what does -k do in curl command linux?

From what I’ve gathered, it seems to be related to SSL certificates, but I’m not entirely sure. Does it ignore cert errors or something? I tried using it, and it worked, but I wanna know *why* it worked lol.

If anyone can explain what does -k do in curl command linux in simple terms, that’d be awesome. Also, is it safe to use? Or should I avoid it unless absolutely necessary?

Thanks in advance!
