Hello all.

While I'm very excited about enabling keepalives in libpq, I want to
know how can I use this functionality in my application?

Let's imagine that I connect to a server with keepalives option, other
options (keepalives_idle, keepalives_interval, keepalives_count) are
used either. Then network goes down. So, how will I know that
connection is dead? Any callback function? Or should I check PQstatus
periodically?

Thank in advance
