+# `--connect-timeout`
+
+Maximum time in seconds that you allow curl's connection to take. This only
+limits the connection phase, so if curl connects within the given period it
+continues - if not it exits.
+
+This option accepts decimal values (added in 7.32.0). The decimal value needs
+to be provided using a dot (.) as decimal separator - not the local version
+even if it might be using another separator.
+
+The connection phase is considered complete when the DNS lookup and requested
+TCP, TLS or QUIC handshakes are done.
