If you want to be more strict and abort on a millisecond level, then you can alternatively use CURLOPTTIMEOUTMS and CURLOPTCONNECTTIMEOUTMS constants, but the manual warns that this might still only be checked every full second depending on how cURL was compiled and setting a value below one second usually requires to ignore signals with.

NAME
CURLOPT_TIMEOUT - set maximum time the request is allowed to take
SYNOPSIS
#include
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, long timeout);
DESCRIPTION
Pass a long as parameter containing timeout - the maximum time in seconds that you allow the libcurl transfer operation to take. Normally, name lookups can take a considerable time and limiting operations risk aborting perfectly normal operations. This option may cause libcurl to use the SIGALRM signal to timeout system calls.
In unix-like systems, this might cause signals to be used unless CURLOPT_NOSIGNAL is set.
If both CURLOPT_TIMEOUT and CURLOPT_TIMEOUT_MS are set, the value set last will be used.

Since this option puts a hard limit on how long time a request is allowed to take, it has limited use in dynamic use cases with varying transfer times. That is especially apparent when using the multi interface, which may queue the transfer, and that time is included. You are advised to explore CURLOPT_LOW_SPEED_LIMIT, CURLOPT_LOW_SPEED_TIME or using CURLOPT_PROGRESSFUNCTION to implement your own timeout logic.
DEFAULT
Default timeout is 0 (zero) which means it never times out during transfer.
