CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR(3) curl_easy_setopt options CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR(3)NAMECURLOPT_COOKIEJAR - file name to store cookies to
SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, char *file‐
name);
DESCRIPTION
Pass a filename as char *, zero terminated. This will make libcurl
write all internally known cookies to the specified file when
curl_easy_cleanup(3) 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 CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE(3).
If the cookie jar file can't be created or written to (when the
curl_easy_cleanup(3) is called), libcurl will not and cannot report an
error for this. Using CURLOPT_VERBOSE(3) or CURLOPT_DEBUGFUNCTION(3)
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 with‐
out a domain name are not exported by this option.
