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