Allows you to provide your private key in this separate file. For SSH, if not specified, curl tries the following candidates in order: '~/.ssh/id_rsa', '~/.ssh/id_dsa', './id_rsa', './id_dsa'. +If curl is built against OpenSSL library, and the engine pkcs11 is available, +then a PKCS#11 URI (RFC 7512) can be used to specify a private key located in a +PKCS#11 device. A string beginning with "pkcs11:" will be interpreted as a +PKCS#11 URI. If a PKCS#11 URI is provided, then the --engine option will be set +as "pkcs11" if none was provided and the --key-type option will be set as +"ENG" if none was provided. + If this option is used several times, the last one will be used. |
