.SH NAME
-CURLOPT_MAXCONNECTS \- set connection cache size
+CURLOPT_MAXCONNECTS \- maximum connection cache size
.SH SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_MAXCONNECTS, long amount);
.SH DESCRIPTION
-Pass a long. The set number will be the persistent connection cache size. The
-set \fIamount\fP will be the maximum amount of simultaneously open connections
-that libcurl may cache in cache associated with this handle. Default is 5, and
-there isn't much point in changing this value unless you are perfectly aware
-of how this works and changes libcurl's behaviour. This concerns connections
-using any of the protocols that support persistent connections.
+Pass a long. The set \fIamount\fP will be the maximum number of simultaneously
+open persistent connections that libcurl may cache in the pool associated with
+this handle. The default is 5, and there isn't much point in changing this
+value unless you are perfectly aware of how this works and changes libcurl's
+behaviour. This concerns connections using any of the protocols that support
+persistent connections.
When reaching the maximum limit, curl closes the oldest one in the cache to
prevent increasing the number of open connections.
