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

       This functionality affects all supported protocols


EXAMPLE

       int main(void)
       {

           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);
         }
       }
