Curl writes all cookies from its in-memory cookie storage to the 23given file at the end of operations. If no cookies are known, no data is 24written. The file is created using the Netscape cookie file format. If you set 25the file name to a single dash, "-", the cookies are written to stdout. 26 27The file specified with --cookie-jar is only used for output. No cookies are 28read from the file. To read cookies, use the --cookie option. Both options 29can specify the same file. 30 31This command line option activates the cookie engine that makes curl record 32and use cookies. The --cookie option also activates it. 33 34If the cookie jar cannot be created or written to, the whole curl operation 35does not fail or even report an error clearly. Using --verbose gets a warning 36displayed, but that is the only visible feedback you get about this possibly 37lethal situation. 38
