UPSCLI_SET_DEFAULT_CONNECT_TIMEOUT(3)
=====================================

NAME
----

upscli_set_default_connect_timeout - Configure upsclient module aspect of default timeout for initial connections.

SYNOPSIS
--------

------
	#include <upsclient.h>

	int upscli_set_default_connect_timeout(const char *secs);
------

DESCRIPTION
-----------

The *upscli_set_default_connect_timeout()* function assigns upsclient module internal
default connection timeout for linkman:upscli_connect[3] from a C string which
represents a floating-point non-negative number (invalid parsing is ignored
and does not modify the previously stored value), a `NULL` argument value sets
the internal timeout to '0' meaning indefinitely blocking (NUT default for this
method over at least 20 years).

While this method can be called explicitly, it is recommended to call the
linkman:upscli_init_default_connect_timeout[3] for consistent setting from a number
of sources with different priority.

RETURN VALUE
------------

The *upscli_set_default_connect_timeout()* function returns '0' on success (either if
the strings was `NULL` so the built-in default '0' is applied, or if its content
was valid and its value got applied), or '-1' if an error occurs (string was
not `NULL`, and its content was not valid -- not a number, negative, etc.)
