From 63791638779778d390f9722a1b47c76f5321741b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Daniel Stenberg Date: Mon, 7 Oct 2019 14:22:23 +0200 Subject: 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. -- cgit v1.2.3
