  15. Specify to which file you want curl to write all cookies after a completed
  16. operation. Curl writes all cookies from its in-memory cookie storage to the
  17. given file at the end of operations. If no cookies are known, no data will be
  18. written. The file will be written using the Netscape cookie file format. If
  19. you set the file name to a single dash, "-", the cookies will be written to
  20. stdout.
  21. The file specified with --cookie-jar is only used for output. No cookies will
  22. be read from the file. To read cookies, use the --cookie option. Both options
  23. can specify the same file.
  24. This command line option will activate the cookie engine that makes curl
  25. record and use cookies. The --cookie option also activates it.
  26. If the cookie jar cannot be created or written to, the whole curl operation
  27. will not fail or even report an error clearly. Using --verbose will get a
  28. warning displayed, but that is the only visible feedback you get about this
  29. possibly lethal situation.
