ClearOptionsMBS(extends s as SocketCore)
Function:
Clears all options.
Notes:
Works only on BSD Sockets and if the socket handle value is valid.
Raises UnsupportedOperationException in case of failure.

OptionKeepAliveMBS(extends s as SocketCore) as Integer
Function:
Gets the keep alive.
Notes:
Works only on BSD Sockets and if the socket handle value is valid.
Returns -1 on any error.
Enables the periodic transmission of messages on a connected socket. Should the connected party fail to respond to these messages, the connection is considered broken and processes using the socket are notified via a SIGPIPE signal when attempting to send data.
