+Long: capath
+Arg: <dir>
+Help: CA directory to verify peer against
+Protocols: TLS
+---
+Tells curl to use the specified certificate directory to verify the
+peer. Multiple paths can be provided by separating them with ":" (e.g.
+\&"path1:path2:path3"). The certificates must be in PEM format, and if curl is
+built against OpenSSL, the directory must have been processed using the
+c_rehash utility supplied with OpenSSL. Using --capath can allow
+OpenSSL-powered curl to make SSL-connections much more efficiently than using
+--cacert if the --cacert file contains many CA certificates.
+
+If this option is set, the default capath value will be ignored, and if it is
+used several times, the last one will be used.
