Library Functions Manual

CURLOPT_TCP_KEEPCNT(3)

NAME

CURLOPT_TCP_KEEPCNT - Maximum number of TCP keep-alive probes

#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_TCP_KEEPCNT, long cnt);

Pass a long. Sets the number of probes to send before dropping the connection. Not all operating systems support this option. (Added in 8.9.0)

The maximum value this option accepts is INT_MAX or whatever your system allows. Any larger value is capped to this amount.

This functionality affects tcp only

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);

/* 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);

curl_easy_perform(curl);
}
}

Added in curl 8.9.0

Returns CURLE_OK if the option is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not.
