COOKIETOOL(6)							   Games Manual 						     COOKIETOOL(6)

NAME

       cookietool - program to operate cookie (fortune) database

SYNOPSIS

       cookietool [options] <database>

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the cookietool command.

       This  manual  page  was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. Instead, it
       has some plaintext documentation, see below.

       cookietool is a program that should be used to sort, clear and maintain cookie database in standard fortune(6) format, i.e. list of cookies
       delimited  with	line  containing  a  single  percent ('%') char. cookietool can now understand another formats and convert cookie database
       between them.

OPTIONS

       A summary of options is included below. For a complete description, see the documentation in /usr/share/doc/cookietool directory

       [nothing]
	      Shows summary of options.

       -c     case sensitive comparisons.

       -d[0-3]
	      how fussy about word delimiters? (default: 2)

       -b     delete cookies that are 'abbreviations' of another, too.

       -p     passive, don't delete anything.

       -s[l|w|<sep>|s]
	      sort cookies; looking after last line only; looking after last word only; starting after the last <sep>, e.g. '-s--'; by size.

       -a     treat 'abbreviations' as doubles (i.e. delete them from the database, too).

       -f[0-3]
	      input file format - -f3: cookies are separated by '%%' lines; -f2: cookies are separated by '%' lines (DEFAULT); -f1: each line is a
	      cookie; -f0: each word is a cookie.

       -F[0-3]
	      force output in a different file format, see -f.

       -o     overwrite directly without temporary file. CAUTION NEEDED.

CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE(3)					     curl_easy_setopt options					     CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE(3)

NAME

       CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE - file name to read cookies from

SYNOPSIS

       #include <curl/curl.h>

       CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, char *filename);

DESCRIPTION

       Pass  a	pointer  to  a zero terminated string as parameter. It should point to the file name of your file holding cookie data to read. The
       cookie data can be in either the old Netscape / Mozilla cookie data format or just regular HTTP headers	(Set-Cookie  style)  dumped  to  a
       file.

       It also enables the cookie engine, making libcurl parse and send cookies on subsequent requests with this handle.

       Given  an  empty  or non-existing file or by passing the empty string ("") to this option, you can enable the cookie engine without reading
       any initial cookies.

       This option only reads cookies. To make libcurl write cookies to file, see CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR(3).

       Exercise caution if you are using this option and multiple transfers may occur.	If you use the	Set-Cookie  format  and  don't	specify  a
       domain  then  the  cookie  is  sent  for any domain (even after redirects are followed) and cannot be modified by a server-set cookie. If a
       server sets a cookie of the same name then both will be sent on a future transfer to that server, likely not what you intended.	To address
       these issues set a domain in Set-Cookie (doing that will include sub-domains) or use the Netscape format.

       If you use this option multiple times, you just add more files to read.	Subsequent files will add more cookies.

       The application does not have to keep the string around after setting this option.

DEFAULT

       NULL

PROTOCOLS

       HTTP

EXAMPLE

       TODO

AVAILABILITY

       As long as HTTP is supported

RETURN VALUE

       Returns CURLE_OK if HTTP is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not.
