Curl writes all cookies from its in-memory cookie storage to the +given file at the end of operations. If no cookies are known, no data will be +written. The file will be written using the Netscape cookie file format. If +you set the file name to a single dash, "-", the cookies will be written to +stdout. + +This command line option will activate the cookie engine that makes curl +record and use cookies. Another way to activate it is to use the --cookie +option. + +If the cookie jar can't be created or written to, the whole curl operation +won't fail or even report an error clearly. Using --verbose will get a warning +displayed, but that is the only visible feedback you get about this possibly +lethal situation. + +If this option is used several times, the last specified file name will be +used. |
