20Tells curl to use the specified certificate directory to verify the
21peer. Multiple paths can be provided by separating them with ":" (e.g.
22"path1:path2:path3"). The certificates must be in PEM format, and if curl is
23built against OpenSSL, the directory must have been processed using the
24c_rehash utility supplied with OpenSSL. Using --capath can allow
25OpenSSL-powered curl to make SSL-connections much more efficiently than using
26--cacert if the --cacert file contains many CA certificates.

28If this option is set, the default capath value is ignored.
