#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_TCP_KEEPALIVE, long probe);

Pass a long. If set to 1, TCP keepalive probes are used. The delay and frequency of these probes can be controlled by the CURLOPT_TCP_KEEPIDLE(3) and CURLOPT_TCP_KEEPINTVL(3) options, provided the operating system supports them. Set to 0 (default behavior) to disable keepalive probes
