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 is 18 written. The file is created using the Netscape cookie file format. If you set 19 the file name to a single dash, "-", the cookies are written to stdout. 20 21 The file specified with --cookie-jar is only used for output. No cookies are 22 read from the file. To read cookies, use the --cookie option. Both options 23 can specify the same file. 24 25 This command line option activates the cookie engine that makes curl record 26 and use cookies. The --cookie option also activates it. 27 28 If the cookie jar cannot be created or written to, the whole curl operation 29 does not fail or even report an error clearly. Using --verbose gets a warning 30 displayed, but that is the only visible feedback you get about this possibly 31 lethal situation. 32
