Multiple paths can 21be provided by separated with colon (`:`) (e.g. `path1:path2:path3`). The 22certificates must be in PEM format, and if curl is built against OpenSSL, the 23directory must have been processed using the c_rehash utility supplied with 24OpenSSL. Using --capath can allow OpenSSL-powered curl to make SSL-connections 25much more efficiently than using --cacert if the --cacert file contains many 26CA certificates. 27 28If this option is set, the default capath value is ignored. 29
