Use imperative mood consistently for the first sentence describing an option. "Set this" instead "tell curl to set" or "this sets..." Plus some extra cleanups and rephrasing. Closes #13106

# `--max-time`
|
|
|
|
Set maximum time in seconds that you allow each transfer to take. Prevents
|
|
your batch jobs from hanging for hours due to slow networks or links going
|
|
down. This option accepts decimal values (added in 7.32.0).
|
|
|
|
If you enable retrying the transfer (--retry) then the maximum time counter is
|
|
reset each time the transfer is retried. You can use --retry-max-time to limit
|
|
the retry time.
|
|
|
|
The decimal value needs to provided using a dot (.) as decimal separator - not
|
|
the local version even if it might be using another separator.
