## NAME

CURLOPT_CAINFO - path to Certificate Authority (CA) bundle

## SYNOPSIS

#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_CAINFO, char *path);

## DESCRIPTION

Pass a char * to a zero terminated string naming a file holding one or more certificates to verify the peer with.

If CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER is zero and you avoid verifying the server's certificate, CURLOPT_CAINFO need not even indicate an accessible file.

This option is by default set to the system path where libcurl's cacert bundle is assumed to be stored, as established at build time.

If curl is built against the NSS SSL library, the NSS PEM PKCS#11 module (libnsspem.so) needs to be available for this option to work properly.

## DEFAULT

Built-in system specific

## PROTOCOLS

All TLS based protocols: HTTPS, FTPS, IMAPS, POP3S, SMTPS etc.

## EXAMPLE

TODO

## AVAILABILITY

For SSL engines that don't support certificate files the CURLOPT_CAINFO option is ignored. Refer to http://curl.haxx.se/docs/ssl-compared.html

## RETURN VALUE

Returns CURLE_OK if the option is supported, CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not, or CURLE_OUT_OF_MEMORY if there was insufficient heap space.
