For each supported browser there is a wrapper script that launches `curl-impersonate` with all the needed headers and flags. For example:
```
curl_chrome101 https://www.wikipedia.org
curl_chrome110 https://www.wikipedia.org
```
You can add command line flags and they will be passed on to curl. However, some flags change curl's TLS signature which may cause it to be detected.

The pre-compiled Linux binaries are built for Ubuntu systems. On other distributions if you have errors with certificate verification you may have to tell curl where to find the CA certificates. For example:
```
curl_chrome101 https://www.wikipedia.org --cacert /etc/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.crt
curl_chrome110 https://www.wikipedia.org --cacert /etc/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.crt

You can call it with the target names, e.g. `chrome101`, and it will internally set all the options and headers that are otherwise set by the wrapper scripts.
You can call it with the target names, e.g. `chrome110`, and it will internally set all the options and headers that are otherwise set by the wrapper scripts.
If `default_headers` is set to 0, the built-in list of HTTP headers will not be set, and the user is expected to provide them instead using the regular [`CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER`](https://curl.se/libcurl/c/CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER.html) libcurl option.
Calling the above function sets the following libcurl options:

### Using CURL_IMPERSONATE env var
If your application uses `libcurl` already, you can replace the existing library at runtime with `LD_PRELOAD` (Linux only). You can then set the `CURL_IMPERSONATE` env var. For example:
```bash
LD_PRELOAD=/path/to/libcurl-impersonate.so CURL_IMPERSONATE=chrome101 my_app
LD_PRELOAD=/path/to/libcurl-impersonate.so CURL_IMPERSONATE=chrome110 my_app
```
The `CURL_IMPERSONATE` env var has two effects:
* `curl_easy_impersonate()` is called automatically for any new curl handle created by `curl_easy_init()`.

If you need precise control over the HTTP headers, set `CURL_IMPERSONATE_HEADERS=no` to disable the built-in list of HTTP headers, then set them yourself with `curl_easy_setopt()`. For example:
```bash
LD_PRELOAD=/path/to/libcurl-impersonate.so CURL_IMPERSONATE=chrome101 CURL_IMPERSONATE_HEADERS=no my_app
LD_PRELOAD=/path/to/libcurl-impersonate.so CURL_IMPERSONATE=chrome110 CURL_IMPERSONATE_HEADERS=no my_app
```

Note that the `LD_PRELOAD` method will NOT WORK for `curl` itself because the curl tool overrides the TLS settings. Use the wrapper scripts instead.
