Any larger value is capped to this amount. DEFAULT 60 PROTOCOLS This functionality affects tcp only EXAMPLE int main(void) { CURL *curl = curl_easy_init(); if(curl) { CURLcode result; curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com"); /* enable TCP keep-alive for this transfer */ curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_TCP_KEEPALIVE, 1L); /* set 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); result = curl_easy_perform(curl); curl_easy_cleanup(curl); } } AVAILABILITY Added in curl 7.25.0 RETURN VALUE curl_easy_setopt(3) returns a CURLcode indicating success or error.
