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.

       CURL_NETRC_IGNORED
