All active connections on the socket shall be terminated and -resources associated with the socket shall be released.

Likewise, any outstanding messages physically received from -the network but not yet received by the application with _zmq_recv()_ shall -also be dropped. +argument. Any outstanding messages physically received from the network but not +yet received by the application with _zmq_recv()_ shall be discarded. The +behaviour for discarding messages sent by the application with _zmq_send()_ but +not yet physically transferred to the network depends on the value of the +_ZMQ_LINGER_ socket option for the specified 'socket'. + +NOTE: The default setting of _ZMQ_LINGER_ does not discard unsent messages; +this behaviour may cause the application to block when calling _zmq_term()_. +For details refer to linkzmq:zmq_setsockopt[3] and linkzmq:zmq_term[3].
