6 <para>The value of the parameter (an integer) represents
7 the number of seconds between <parameter moreinfo="none">keepalive</parameter>
8 packets. If this parameter is zero, no keepalive packets will be
9 sent. Keepalive packets, if sent, allow the server to tell whether
10 a client is still present and responding.</para>
12 <para>Keepalives should, in general, not be needed if the socket
13 being used has the SO_KEEPALIVE attribute set on it (see <link linkend="SOCKETOPTIONS">
14 <parameter moreinfo="none">socket options</parameter></link>).
15 Basically you should only use this option if you strike difficulties.</para>
17 <para>Default: <command moreinfo="none">keepalive = 300</command></para>
19 <para>Example: <command moreinfo="none">keepalive = 600</command></para>
