- Makes curl scan the *.netrc* (*_netrc* on Windows) file in the user's home
- directory for login name and password. This is typically used for FTP on
- Unix. If used with HTTP, curl will enable user authentication. See
- *netrc(5)* and *ftp(1)* for details on the file format. Curl will not
- complain if that file does not have the right permissions (it should be
- neither world- nor group-readable). The environment variable "HOME" is used
- to find the home directory.
- A quick and simple example of how to setup a *.netrc* to allow curl to FTP to
- the machine host.domain.com with user name \&'myself' and password \&'secret'
- could look similar to:
- machine host.domain.com
- login myself
- password secret"
