This option can be used multiple times. This option can be used multiple times.
When curl is invoked, it always (unless \fI-q\fP is used) checks for a default
config file and uses it if found. The default config file is checked for in
the following places in this order:
1) curl tries to find the "home dir": It first checks for the CURL_HOME and
then the HOME environment variables. Failing that, it uses getpwuid() on
unix-like systems (which returns the home dir given the current user in your
system). On Windows, it then checks for the APPDATA variable, or as a last
resort the '%USERPROFILE%\Application Data'.
2) On windows, if there is no _curlrc file in the home dir, it checks for one
in the same dir the executable curl is placed. On unix-like systems, it will
simply try to load .curlrc from the determined home dir.
