- Long: netrc
- Short: n
- Help: Must read .netrc for user name and password
- Category: curl
- Example: --netrc $URL

- 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 doesn't 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 very 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' should look similar to:
- .B "machine host.domain.com login myself password secret"
