If curl is built against the NSS SSL library, the NSS PEM PKCS#11 module
(libnsspem.so) needs to be available for this option to work properly.
+Starting with curl-7.55.0, if both \fICURLOPT_CAINFO(3)\fP and
+\fICURLOPT_CAPATH(3)\fP are unset, NSS-linked libcurl tries to load
+libnssckbi.so, which contains a more comprehensive set of trust information
+than supported by nss-pem, because libnssckbi.so also includes information
+about distrusted certificates.
(iOS and macOS only) If curl is built against Secure Transport, then this
option is supported for backward compatibility with other SSL engines, but it
