Allows you to provide your private key in this separate 9 file. For SSH, if not specified, curl tries the following candidates in order: 10 \&'~/.ssh/id_rsa', '~/.ssh/id_dsa', './id_rsa', './id_dsa'. 11 12 If curl is built against OpenSSL library, and the engine pkcs11 is available, 13 then a PKCS#11 URI (RFC 7512) can be used to specify a private key located in a 14 PKCS#11 device. A string beginning with "pkcs11:" will be interpreted as a 15 PKCS#11 URI. If a PKCS#11 URI is provided, then the --engine option will be set 16 as "pkcs11" if none was provided and the --key-type option will be set as 17 "ENG" if none was provided. 18 19 If this option is used several times, the last one will be used. 20
