curl

    1: Short: c
    2: Long: cookie-jar
    3: Arg: <filename>
    4: Protocols: HTTP
    5: Help: Write cookies to <filename> after operation
    6: ---
    7: Specify to which file you want curl to write all cookies after a completed
    8: operation. Curl writes all cookies from its in-memory cookie storage to the
    9: given file at the end of operations. If no cookies are known, no data will be
   10: written. The file will be written using the Netscape cookie file format. If
   11: you set the file name to a single dash, "-", the cookies will be written to
   12: stdout.
   13: 
   14: This command line option will activate the cookie engine that makes curl
   15: record and use cookies. Another way to activate it is to use the --cookie
   16: option.
   17: 
   18: If the cookie jar can't be created or written to, the whole curl operation
   19: won't fail or even report an error clearly. Using --verbose will get a warning
   20: displayed, but that is the only visible feedback you get about this possibly
   21: lethal situation.
   22: 
   23: If this option is used several times, the last specified file name will be
   24: used.
