Description

Sets the full path to the netrc file.
Pass a text string containing the full path name to the file you want libcurl to use as .netrc file. If this option is omitted, and CURL.SetOptionNetRC is set, libcurl will attempt to find a .netrc file in the current user's home directory.

Starting with version 8.0 the plugin will always use UTF-8 encoding for file path on Linux and macOS. For macOS we also do the unicode character normalization for file names for you.
