NAME

       xs_close - close Crossroads socket

SYNOPSIS

       int xs_close (void *socket);

DESCRIPTION

       The xs_close() function shall destroy the socket referenced by the socket argument. Any
       outstanding messages physically received from the network but not yet received by the
       application with xs_recv() shall be discarded. The behaviour for discarding messages sent
       by the application with xs_send() but not yet physically transferred to the network
       depends on the value of the XS_LINGER socket option for the specified socket.

           Note
           The default setting of XS_LINGER does not discard unsent messages; this behaviour may
           cause the application to block when calling xs_term(). For details refer to
           xs_setsockopt(3) and xs_term(3).

RETURN VALUE

       The xs_close() function shall return zero if successful. Otherwise it shall return -1 and
       set errno to one of the values defined below.

ERRORS

       ENOTSOCK
           The provided socket was invalid.
