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

       This functionality affects all supported protocols

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);
         }
       }
