52 <p class="level0">Pass a <span Class="emphasis">filename</span> as char *, zero terminated. This will make libcurl write all internally known cookies to the specified file when <span Class="emphasis">curl_easy_cleanup(3)</span> is called. If no cookies are known, no file will be created. Specify "-" as filename to instead have the cookies written to stdout. Using this option also enables cookies for this session, so if you for example follow a location it will make matching cookies get sent accordingly.
53 <p class="level0">Note that libcurl doesn't read any cookies from the cookie jar. If you want to read cookies from a file, use <a Class="emphasis" href="./CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE.html">CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE</a>.
54 <p class="level0">If the cookie jar file can't be created or written to (when the <span Class="emphasis">curl_easy_cleanup(3)</span> is called), libcurl will not and cannot report an error for this. Using <a Class="emphasis" href="./CURLOPT_VERBOSE.html">CURLOPT_VERBOSE</a> or <a Class="emphasis" href="./CURLOPT_DEBUGFUNCTION.html">CURLOPT_DEBUGFUNCTION</a> will get a warning to display, but that is the only visible feedback you get about this possibly lethal situation. <a name="DEFAULT"></a><h2 class="nroffsh">DEFAULT</h2>
