Jay Satiro 841427376e CURLINFO_PRETRANSFER_TIME_T.3: fix time explanation
- Change CURLINFO_PRETRANSFER_TIME_T explanation to say that it
  includes protocol-specific instructions that trigger a transfer.

Prior to this change it explicitly said that it did not include those
instructions in the time, but that is incorrect.

The change is a copy of the fixed explanation already in
CURLINFO_PRETRANSFER_TIME, fixed by ec8dcd7b.

.SH NAME
CURLINFO_PRETRANSFER_TIME_T \- get the time until the file transfer start
.SH SYNOPSIS
.nf
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_getinfo(CURL *handle, CURLINFO_PRETRANSFER_TIME_T,
curl_off_t *timep);
.fi
.SH DESCRIPTION
Pass a pointer to a curl_off_t to receive the time, in microseconds, it took
from the start until the file transfer is just about to begin.
This time-stamp includes all pre-transfer commands and negotiations that are
specific to the particular protocol(s) involved. It includes the sending of
the protocol-specific instructions that trigger a transfer.
When a redirect is followed, the time from each request is added together.
See also the TIMES overview in the \fIcurl_easy_getinfo(3)\fP man page.
.SH PROTOCOLS
All
.SH EXAMPLE
.nf
curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
curl_off_t pretransfer;
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, url);
res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
if(CURLE_OK == res) {
res = curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_PRETRANSFER_TIME_T, &pretransfer);
if(CURLE_OK == res) {
printf("Time: %" CURL_FORMAT_CURL_OFF_T ".%06ld", pretransfer / 1000000,
(long)(pretransfer % 1000000));
}
}
/* always cleanup */
curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
}
