the option is provided in the -help message of the s_server utility
but it is not documented in the man page, this fixes it

Although I think ECDH could also use the term 'ECDH parameters' instead of 'ECDH curves'...

I agree with @InfoHunter that this entry should replace curves with parameters, for coherence with the equivalent -no_dhe option.

technically, the only parameter the server can select in ECDH is the curve – the base point is bound to the curve so is not selectable – in FFDH it's both the prime and the generator that is selectable and sent to the client so there are parameters (plural) in SKE

so for ECDH "curves" and "parameters" in this context are synonymous
