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