 (SSL) Tells curl to use the specified public key file to verify the peer. The
-file must contain a single public key in DER format.
+file must contain a single public key in PEM or DER format.
 
 When negotiating a TLS or SSL connection, the server sends a certificate

 if it does not exactly match the public key provided to this option, curl will
 abort the connection before sending or receiving any data.
