CURLOPT_PASSWORD(3) Introduction to Library Functions CURLOPT_PASSWORD(3)

NAME

CURLOPT_PASSWORD - password to use in authentication

SYNOPSIS

#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_PASSWORD, char *pwd);

DESCRIPTION

Pass a char pointer as parameter, which should be pointing to the
null-terminated password to use for the transfer.

The CURLOPT_PASSWORD(3) option should be used in conjunction with the
CURLOPT_USERNAME(3) option.

The application does not have to keep the string around after setting
this option.

Using this option multiple times makes the last set string override
the previous ones. Set it to NULL to disable its use again.

DEFAULT

blank
