- switch all invidual files documenting command line options into .md, as the documentation is now markdown-looking. - made the parser treat 4-space indents as quotes - switch to building the curl.1 manpage using the "mainpage.idx" file, which lists the files to include to generate it, instead of using the previous page-footer/headers. Also, those files are now also .md ones, using the same format. I gave them underscore prefixes to make them sort separately: _NAME.md, _SYNOPSIS.md, _DESCRIPTION.md, _URL.md, _GLOBBING.md, _VARIABLES.md, _OUTPUT.md, _PROTOCOLS.md, _PROGRESS.md, _VERSION.md, _OPTIONS.md, _FILES.md, _ENVIRONMENT.md, _PROXYPREFIX.md, _EXITCODES.md, _BUGS.md, _AUTHORS.md, _WWW.md, _SEEALSO.md - updated test cases accordingly Closes #12751

# `--max-time`
|
|
|
|
Maximum time in seconds that you allow each transfer to take. This is useful
|
|
for preventing 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.
