CURLOPT_TIMEOUT.3: remove the mention of "minutes"
... just say that limiting operations risk aborting otherwise fine
working transfers. If that means seconds, minutes or hours, we leave to
the user.

Normally, name -lookups can take a considerable time and limiting operations to less than a -few minutes risk aborting perfectly normal operations. This option may cause -libcurl to use the SIGALRM signal to timeout system calls. +lookups can take a considerable time and limiting operations risk aborting +perfectly normal operations. This option may cause libcurl to use the SIGALRM +signal to timeout system calls. In unix-like systems, this might cause signals to be used unless \fICURLOPT_NOSIGNAL(3)\fP is set. |
