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-terminated password	to use for the transfer.

       The CURLOPT_PASSWORD(3) option should be	used in	conjunction  with  the
       CURLOPT_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.

DEFAULT
       blank
