39<p>Closes a socket. Closed sockets can no longer be used.</p><p>If there are currently any blocked function calls that used the socket that this function closes, the blocks are released and those functions return their various predefined errors. If you close a stream socket (<CODE>SOCK_STREAM</CODE>) that has not been set to non-blocking mode by the <a href="../../nn/socket/Fcntl.html"><CODE>Fcntl</CODE></a> function, the connection is closed according to the configured <a href="../../nn/socket/Linger/Overview.html"><CODE>Linger</CODE></a> options. The default behavior is for <CODE>Close</CODE> to return immediately without blocking. Then, after any data remaining to be sent is automatically transferred in the background, the resources used by the socket are released.</p><!-- write here --></div>
