NAME

     CURLOPT_NETRC_FILE - file name 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 * as parameter, pointing to  a  zero  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 will attempt to find a
     .netrc file in the current user's home directory.

     The application does not have  to  keep  the  string  around
     after setting this option.

DEFAULT

     NULL

       curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_NETRC, CURL_NETRC_OPTIONAL);
       curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_NETRC_FILE, "/tmp/magic-netrc");
       ret = curl_easy_perform(curl);
     }
