- This option sets the time a connection needs to remain idle before sending
- keepalive probes and the time between individual keepalive probes. It is
- currently effective on operating systems offering the TCP_KEEPIDLE and
- TCP_KEEPINTVL socket options (meaning Linux, recent AIX, HP-UX and more).
- Keepalives are used by the TCP stack to detect broken networks on idle
- connections. The number of missed keepalive probes before declaring the
- connection down is OS dependent and is commonly 9 or 10. This option has no
- effect if --no-keepalive is used.
- If unspecified, the option defaults to 60 seconds.
