How to stop bearer tokens leaking

If I use basic-auth the curl binary hides the credentials passed on the
command line from being seen using ps -1
Whats the best way of protecting bearer tokens in the same way?
AFAIK the only way of setting a bearer token is to use the generic -H flag

The only way I can see is to set the token via an options file (it would
have to be a physical file as I'm streaming data via stdin)
