NAME

libssh2_keepalive_config - short function description

SYNOPSIS

#include <libssh2.h>

void
libssh2_keepalive_config(LIBSSH2_SESSION *session,
int want_reply,
unsigned interval);

DESCRIPTION

Set how often keepalive messages should be sent. want_reply indicates
whether the keepalive messages should request a response from the
server. interval is number of seconds that can pass without any I/O,
use 0 (the default) to disable keepalives. To avoid some busy-loop
corner-cases, if you specify an interval of 1 it will be treated as
2.

Note that non-blocking applications are responsible for sending the
keepalive messages using libssh2_keepalive_send(3).

RETURN VALUE

Nothing
