.SH DESCRIPTION
Pass a long as parameter containing \fItimeout\fP - the maximum time in
seconds that you allow the libcurl transfer operation to take. 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.
