CURLOPT_NETRC_FILE(3)      Library Functions Manual      CURLOPT_NETRC_FILE(3)

NAME
       CURLOPT_NETRC_FILE - filename to read .netrc info from

SYNOPSIS
       #include <curl/curl.h>

       CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_NETRC_FILE, char *file);

DESCRIPTION
       Pass a char pointer as parameter, pointing to a null-terminated string
       containing the full path name to the file you want libcurl to use as
       .netrc file. If this option is omitted, and CURLOPT_NETRC(3) is set,
       libcurl checks for a .netrc file in the current user's home directory.

       The application does not have to keep the string around after setting
       this option.

DEFAULT
       NULL

PROTOCOLS
       All

EXAMPLE
       int main(void)
       {
         CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
         if(curl) {
           CURLcode ret;
           curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "ftp://example.com/");
           curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_NETRC, CURL_NETRC_OPTIONAL);
           curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_NETRC_FILE, "/tmp/magic-netrc");
           ret = curl_easy_perform(curl);
         }
       }
