CURLOPT_COOKIELIST let's you add cookies to the in-memory cookie jar. It also
offers some "commands" to manipulate that cookie jar. Not sure what you mean
with "save", but maybe we mean the same thing?

You can read them as well, with the curl_easy_getinfo's corresponding
CURLINFO_COOKIELIST option. Similar name, but that's for *reading* cookies.

I don't understand how this option relates to any command line?

"-" means libcurl will read from stdin instead of a file. It just seems it
isn't mentioned in the CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE man page. I'll fix that right now.
