5Help: Write cookies to <filename> after operation
6---
7Specify to which file you want curl to write all cookies after a completed
8operation. Curl writes all cookies from its in-memory cookie storage to the
9given file at the end of operations. If no cookies are known, no data will be
10written. The file will be written using the Netscape cookie file format. If
11you set the file name to a single dash, "-", the cookies will be written to
12stdout.
13
14This command line option will activate the cookie engine that makes curl
15record and use cookies. Another way to activate it is to use the --cookie
16option.
17
18If the cookie jar can't be created or written to, the whole curl operation
19won't fail or even report an error clearly. Using --verbose will get a warning
20displayed, but that is the only visible feedback you get about this possibly
21lethal situation.
22
23If this option is used several times, the last specified file name will be
24used.
