| Example: | |
| - --capath /local/directory $URL | |
| # `--capath` | |
| Use the specified certificate directory to verify the peer. Multiple paths can | |
| be provided by separated with colon (`:`) (e.g. `path1:path2:path3`). The | |
| certificates must be in PEM format, and if curl is built against OpenSSL, the | |
| directory must have been processed using the c_rehash utility supplied with | |
| OpenSSL. Using --capath can allow OpenSSL-powered curl to make SSL-connections | |
| much more efficiently than using --cacert if the --cacert file contains many | |
| CA certificates. | |
| If this option is set, the default capath value is ignored. | |
