This only 20limits the connection phase, so if curl connects within the given period it 21continues - if not it exits. 22 23This option accepts decimal values (added in 7.32.0). The decimal value needs 24to be provided using a dot (.) as decimal separator - not the local version 25even if it might be using another separator. 26 27The connection phase is considered complete when the DNS lookup and requested 28TCP, TLS or QUIC handshakes are done. 29
