[PATCH] socket.7: Correctly describe SO_SNDTIMEO for connect

[PATCH] socket.7: Correctly describe SO_SNDTIMEO for connect

[Andi Kleen]

From: Andi Kleen <ak-VuQAYsv1563Yd54FQh9/CA@public.gmane.org>

When SO_SNDTIMEO is set before connect() connect may return EWOULDBLOCK
when the timeout fires. Describe this correctly.
