NAME

       CURLOPT_NETRC - request that .netrc is used

SYNOPSIS

       #include <curl/curl.h>

       CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_NETRC, long level);

DESCRIPTION

       This  parameter controls the preference level of libcurl between using user names and passwords from your
       ~/.netrc file, relative to user names and passwords in the URL supplied with CURLOPT_URL(3).

       libcurl uses a user name  (and  supplied  or  prompted  password)  supplied  with  CURLOPT_USERPWD(3)  or
       CURLOPT_USERNAME(3) in preference to any of the options controlled by this parameter.

       Only  machine  name, user name and password are taken into account (init macros and similar things aren't
       supported).

       libcurl does not verify that the file has the correct properties set (as the  standard  Unix  ftp  client
       does). It should only be readable by user.

       level should be set to one of the values described below.

       CURL_NETRC_OPTIONAL
              The  use  of  your  ~/.netrc file is optional, and information in the URL is to be preferred.  The
              file will be scanned for the host and user name (to find the password only) or for the host  only,
              to  find  the  first  user  name  and  password  after that machine, which ever information is not
              specified in the URL.

              Undefined values of the option will have this effect.

       CURL_NETRC_IGNORED
              The library will ignore the file and use only the information in the URL.

              This is the default.

       CURL_NETRC_REQUIRED
              This value tells the library that use of the file is required, to ignore the  information  in  the
              URL, and to search the file for the host only.

DEFAULT

       CURL_NETRC_IGNORED
