Even if no cookies are known, a file is 25 created so that it removes any formerly existing cookies from the file. The 26 file uses the Netscape cookie file format. If you set the filename to a single 27 minus, "-", the cookies are written to stdout. 28 29 The file specified with --cookie-jar is only used for output. No cookies are 30 read from the file. To read cookies, use the --cookie option. Both options 31 can specify the same file. 32 33 This command line option activates the cookie engine that makes curl record 34 and use cookies. The --cookie option also activates it. 35 36 If the cookie jar cannot be created or written to, the whole curl operation 37 does not fail or even report an error clearly. Using --verbose gets a warning 38 displayed, but that is the only visible feedback you get about this possibly 39 lethal situation.
