- .SH NAME
- CURLOPT_TCP_KEEPALIVE \- TCP keep\-alive probing
- .SH SYNOPSIS
- .nf
- #include <curl/curl.h>
- CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_TCP_KEEPALIVE, long probe);
- .fi
- .SH DESCRIPTION
- Pass a long. If set to 1, TCP keepalive probes are used. The delay and
- frequency of these probes can be controlled by the
- \fICURLOPT_TCP_KEEPIDLE(3)\fP, \fICURLOPT_TCP_KEEPINTVL(3)\fP, and \fICURLOPT_TCP_KEEPCNT(3)\fP
- options, provided the operating system supports them. Set to 0 (default behavior)
- to disable keepalive probes.
- .SH DEFAULT
- 0
- .SH PROTOCOLS
- This functionality affects tcp only
- .SH EXAMPLE
- .nf
- int main(void)
- {
- CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
- if(curl) {
- curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com");
- /* enable TCP keep-alive for this transfer */
- curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_TCP_KEEPALIVE, 1L);
- /* keep-alive idle time to 120 seconds */
- curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_TCP_KEEPIDLE, 120L);
- /* interval time between keep-alive probes: 60 seconds */
- curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_TCP_KEEPINTVL, 60L);
- /* maximum number of keep-alive probes: 3 */
- curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_TCP_KEEPCNT, 3L);
- curl_easy_perform(curl);
- }
- }
- .fi
- .SH AVAILABILITY
- Added in curl 7.25.0
- .SH RETURN VALUE
- Returns CURLE_OK if the option is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not.
