# `--cookie-jar` |
|
|
|
|
|
Specify to which file you want curl to write all cookies after a completed |
|
|
operation. Curl writes all cookies from its in-memory cookie storage to the |
|
|
given file at the end of operations. Even if no cookies are known, a file is |
|
|
created so that it removes any formerly existing cookies from the file. The |
|
|
file uses the Netscape cookie file format. If you set the filename to a single |
|
|
minus, "-", the cookies are written to stdout. |
|
|
|
|
|
The file specified with --cookie-jar is only used for output. No cookies are |
|
|
read from the file. To read cookies, use the --cookie option. Both options |
|
|
can specify the same file. |
|
|
|
|
|
This command line option activates the cookie engine that makes curl record |
|
|
and use cookies. The --cookie option also activates it. |
|
|
|
|
|
If the cookie jar cannot be created or written to, the whole curl operation |
|
|
does not fail or even report an error clearly. Using --verbose gets a warning |
|
|
displayed, but that is the only visible feedback you get about this possibly |
|
|
lethal situation. |
