NAME

       CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR - file name to store cookies to

SYNOPSIS

       #include <curl/curl.h>

       CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, char *filename);

DESCRIPTION

       Pass  a filename as char *, zero terminated. This will make libcurl write all internally known cookies to
       the specified file when curl_easy_cleanup(3) is called. If no cookies are known, no file will be created.
       Specify  "-"  as  filename  to instead have the cookies written to stdout. Using this option also enables
       cookies for this session, so if you for example follow a location it will make matching cookies get  sent
       accordingly.

       Note  that libcurl doesn't read any cookies from the cookie jar. If you want to read cookies from a file,
       use CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE(3).

       If the cookie jar file can't be created or written to (when the curl_easy_cleanup(3) is called),  libcurl
       will  not  and cannot report an error for this. Using CURLOPT_VERBOSE(3) or CURLOPT_DEBUGFUNCTION(3) will
       get a warning to display, but that is the only visible  feedback  you  get  about  this  possibly  lethal
       situation.

       Since  7.43.0  cookies that were imported in the Set-Cookie format without a domain name are not exported
       by this option.
