docs/libcurl: generate PROTOCOLS from meta-data
Remove the PROTOCOLS section from the source files completely and
instead generate them based on the header data in the curldown files.

It also generates TLS backend information for options marked for TLS as
protocol.

NAME

CURLOPT_TIMEOUT_MS - maximum time the transfer is allowed to complete

SYNOPSIS

#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT_MS, long timeout);

DESCRIPTION

Pass a long as parameter containing timeout - the maximum time in milliseconds that you allow the libcurl transfer operation to take.

See CURLOPT_TIMEOUT(3) for details.

DEFAULT

Default timeout is 0 (zero) which means it never times out during transfer.

EXAMPLE

int main(void)
{
  CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
  if(curl) {
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com");

    /* complete within 20000 milliseconds */
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT_MS, 20000L);

    curl_easy_perform(curl);
  }
}

AVAILABILITY

Always

RETURN VALUE

Returns CURLE_OK
