NAME

       CURLOPT_TCP_KEEPCNT - Maximum number of TCP keep-alive probes

SYNOPSIS

       #include <curl/curl.h>

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

DESCRIPTION

       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.

DEFAULT

       9

PROTOCOLS

       This functionality affects tcp only

EXAMPLE

       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);
         }
       }

AVAILABILITY

       Added in curl 8.9.0
