It does not provide all options with bells and whistles or to perfection. Timeout options are not provided by the basic openssl library. Timeouts are either provided by the underlying transport (TCP stack and/or kernel) or by the application using non-blocking behaviour and select(). The openssl s_client example application does not implement the latter and there are no plans to add it.
