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.
Using this option multiple times makes the last set string override the previous ones. Set it to NULL to disable its use again.
DEFAULT
NULL
PROTOCOLS
