CURLOPT_NETRC_FILE(3)               libcurl              CURLOPT_NETRC_FILE(3)


NAME

       CURLOPT_NETRC_FILE - file name 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 * 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 will attempt to find 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

EXAMPLE

       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);
       }
