CURLOPT_SSH_PUBLIC_KEYFILE: set public key file for SSH auth

Command to display CURLOPT_SSH_PUBLIC_KEYFILE manual in Linux: $ man 3 CURLOPT_SSH_PUBLIC_KEYFILE

NAME

CURLOPT_SSH_PUBLIC_KEYFILE - set public key file for SSH auth

SYNOPSIS

#include <curl/curl.h>

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

DESCRIPTION

Pass a char * pointing to a filename for your public key. If not used, libcurl defaults to $HOME/.ssh/id_dsa.pub if the HOME environment variable is set, and just "id_dsa.pub" in the current directory if HOME is not set.

If an empty string is passed, libcurl will pass no public key to libssh2 which then tries to compute it from the private key, this is known to work when libssh2 1.4.0+ is linked against OpenSSL.

DEFAULT

As explained above
