      4 Help: Private key file name
      5 ---
      6 Private key file name. Allows you to provide your private key in this separate
      7 file. For SSH, if not specified, curl tries the following candidates in order:
      8 '~/.ssh/id_rsa', '~/.ssh/id_dsa', './id_rsa', './id_dsa'.
      9 
     10 If curl is built against OpenSSL library, and the engine pkcs11 is available,
     11 then a PKCS#11 URI (RFC 7512) can be used to specify a private key located in a
     12 PKCS#11 device. A string beginning with "pkcs11:" will be interpreted as a
     13 PKCS#11 URI. If a PKCS#11 URI is provided, then the --engine option will be set
     14 as "pkcs11" if none was provided and the --key-type option will be set as
     15 "ENG" if none was provided.
     16 
     17 If this option is used several times, the last one will be used.
