CURLOPT_SSLCERT(3)
CURLOPT_SSLCERT(3) curl_easy_setopt options CURLOPT_SSLCERT(3)
NAME
CURLOPT_SSLCERT - set SSL client certificate
SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_SSLCERT,
char *cert);
DESCRIPTION
Pass a pointer to a zero terminated string as parameter. The
string should be the file name of your client certificate.
The default format is "P12" on Secure Transport and "PEM" on
other engines, and can be changed with
CURLOPT_SSLCERTTYPE(3).
With NSS or Secure Transport, this can also be the nickname
of the certificate you wish to authenticate with as it is
named in the security database. If you want to use a file
from the current directory, please precede it with "./" pre-
fix, in order to avoid confusion with a nickname.
When using a client certificate, you most likely also need
to provide a private key with CURLOPT_SSLKEY(3).
The application does not have to keep the string around
after setting this option.
DEFAULT
NULL
PROTOCOLS
All TLS based protocols: HTTPS, FTPS, IMAPS, POP3S, SMTPS
etc.

CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {

curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_SSLKEY, "key.pem");
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_KEYPASSWD, "s3cret");
ret = curl_easy_perform(curl);
curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
