.SH NAME
CURLOPT_TCP_KEEPIDLE \- TCP keep\-alive idle time wait
.SH SYNOPSIS
.nf
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_TCP_KEEPIDLE, long delay);

option.
The maximum value this accepts is 2147483648. Any larger value is capped to
this amount.

.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);
/* 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);
}
