libcURL behavior with unexpected socket close

Hi all,

I'm a newbie as libcURL user.
I was wondering how curl behaves in some scenarios under Linux.

If send() method of C sockets is invoked when either side closed
connection, a SIGPIPE signal is sent to calling process, which by
default terminates the process. A way to avoid this is to call send()
with MSG_NOSIGNAL flag.

Does the CURLOPT_NOSIGNAL option of curl_easy_setopt() act the same
for curl or something else is required in order to keep process alive?

Thanks in advance,

Marco
