plucky (3) CURLOPT_NETRC_FILE.3.gz

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

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