downloaddbus-390aa034403cd28ab03d12ed75ff486872a9fbc9.tar.gz
Update documentation now that INT_MAX means no timeout.
* dbus/dbus-connection.c (dbus_connection_send_with_reply): Fix documentation now that INT_MAX will not be clamped. (dbus_connection_send_with_reply_and_block): Update documentation too. Signed-off-by: Scott James Remnant <scott@ubuntu.com> (cherry picked from commit ce0d932d9be5adec22943dd7b268bd4a165ada64)
