CURLOPT_PASSWORD(3) Library Functions Manual CURLOPT_PASSWORD(3) NAME CURLOPT_PASSWORD - password to use in authentication SYNOPSIS #include <curl/curl.h> CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_PASSWORD, char *pwd); DESCRIPTION Pass a char pointer as parameter, which should be pointing to the null-ter- minated password to use for the transfer. The CURLOPT_PASSWORD(3) option should be used in conjunction with the CUR- LOPT_USERNAME(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.
