.SH NAME
CURLOPT_WS_OPTIONS \- WebSocket behavior options

#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_WS_OPTIONS, long bitmask);

.SH DESCRIPTION
Pass a long with a bitmask to tell libcurl about specific WebSocket
behaviors.

To detach a WebSocket connection and use the \fIcurl_ws_send(3)\fP and
\fIcurl_ws_recv(3)\fP functions after the HTTP upgrade procedure, set the
\fICURLOPT_CONNECT_ONLY(3)\fP option to 2L.
