@ -23,6 +23,16 @@ while performing, it may take longer than this given time period. To limit a
single request's maximum time, use --max-time. Set this option to zero to not
timeout retries.
The retry timer starts immediately before the first transfer attempt and
includes time spent sleeping between retries (such as delays defined by
--retry-delay). Before each new retry is started, curl checks whether the
elapsed time has reached the specified limit. If it has, no further retries are
performed.
A transfer that has already started is allowed to run to completion even if
this makes the total wall clock time exceed the limit. Use --max-time to also
cap the duration of each individual transfer attempt.
Starting in curl 8.16.0, this option accepts a time as decimal number for parts
of seconds. The decimal value needs to be provided using a dot (.) as decimal
separator - not the local version even if it might be using another separator.
