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

           curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "ftp://example.com/");
           curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_NETRC, CURL_NETRC_OPTIONAL);
