1 Long: key 2 Arg: <key> 3 Protocols: TLS SSH 4 Help: Private key file name 5 Category: tls ssh 6 --- 7 Private key file name. Allows you to provide your private key in this separate 8 file. For SSH, if not specified, curl tries the following candidates in order: 9 \&'~/.ssh/id_rsa', '~/.ssh/id_dsa', './id_rsa', './id_dsa'. 10 11 If curl is built against OpenSSL library, and the engine pkcs11 is available, 12 then a PKCS#11 URI (RFC 7512) can be used to specify a private key located in a 13 PKCS#11 device. A string beginning with "pkcs11:" will be interpreted as a 14 PKCS#11 URI. If a PKCS#11 URI is provided, then the --engine option will be set 15 as "pkcs11" if none was provided and the --key-type option will be set as 16 "ENG" if none was provided. 17 18 If this option is used several times, the last one will be used. 19
