CURLOPT_NETRC(3)           curl_easy_setopt options           CURLOPT_NETRC(3)

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
