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  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);
         }
       }

AVAILABILITY

       Added in 7.10.9

RETURN VALUE

       Returns  CURLE_OK  if  the  option  is  supported,   CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION   if   not,   or
