+Make curl scan the *.netrc* file in the user's home directory for login name
+and password. This is typically used for FTP on Unix. If used with HTTP, curl
+enables user authentication. See *netrc(5)* and *ftp(1)* for details on the
+file format. curl does not complain if that file does not have the right
+permissions (it should be neither world- nor group-readable). The environment
+variable "HOME" is used to find the home directory.
+
+The netrc file provides credentials for a hostname independent of which
+protocol and port number that are used.
+
+On Windows two filenames in the home directory are checked: *.netrc* and
+*_netrc*, preferring the former. Older versions on Windows checked for *_netrc*
+only.
+
+A quick and simple example of how to setup a *.netrc* to allow curl to FTP to
+the machine host.example.com with username 'myself' and password 'secret' could
+look similar to:
+
+    machine host.example.com
+    login myself
+    password secret
