plucky (3) CURLOPT_PASSWORD.3.gz

NAME

       CURLOPT_PASSWORD - password to use in authentication

SYNOPSIS

       #include <curl/curl.h>

       CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_PASSWORD, char *pwd);

DESCRIPTION

       Pass a char pointer as parameter, which should be pointing to the null-terminated password to use for the
       transfer.

       The CURLOPT_PASSWORD(3) option should be used in conjunction with the CURLOPT_USERNAME(3) option.

       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

       blank
