Yes, I could use -u --user, but `man curl`says "Such sensitive data
should be retrieved from a file instead or similar and never used in
clear text in a command line."
So back to .netrc or --netrc-file. But this might end up in backups or
could be seen by sysadmins.
Any other options?
That's why I wish --netrc-file <(cat ~/.netrc), but instead of cat
~/.netrc I would use
gpg --decrypt ...
or
echo "cat A.RACF.PROTECTED.DATASET" | ssh MY.GOOD.OLD.ZOS.HOST
Which I *guess*/*feel* is more safe.
