CURLOPT_PROXYPASSWORD(3)   Library Functions Manual   CURLOPT_PROXYPASSWORD(3)

NAME
       CURLOPT_PROXYPASSWORD - password	to use with proxy authentication

SYNOPSIS
       #include	<curl/curl.h>

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

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

       The CURLOPT_PROXYPASSWORD(3) option should be used in conjunction  with
       the CURLOPT_PROXYUSERNAME(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
