This will make libcurl write all internally known cookies to the specified file when \fIcurl_easy_cleanup(3)\fP is called. If no cookies are known, no file will be created. Specify "-" as filename to instead have the cookies written to stdout. Using this option also enables cookies for this session, so if you for example follow a location it will make matching cookies get sent accordingly. Note that libcurl doesn't read any cookies from the cookie jar. If you want to read cookies from a file, use \fICURLOPT_COOKIEFILE(3)\fP. If the cookie jar file can't be created or written to (when the \fIcurl_easy_cleanup(3)\fP is called), libcurl will not and cannot report an error for this. Using \fICURLOPT_VERBOSE(3)\fP or \fICURLOPT_DEBUGFUNCTION(3)\fP will get a warning to display, but that is the only visible feedback you get about this possibly lethal situation. Since 7.43.0 cookies that were imported in the Set-Cookie format without a domain name are not exported by this option. .SH DEFAULT NULL .SH PROTOCOLS HTTP .SH EXAMPLE TODO .SH AVAILABILITY Along with HTTP .SH RETURN VALUE Returns CURLE_OK if HTTP is supported, CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not, or CURLE_OUT_OF_MEMORY if there was insufficient heap space. .SH "SEE ALSO" .BR CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE "(3), " CURLOPT_COOKIE "(3), " .BR CURLOPT_COOKIELIST "(3), "
