+xs_close(3)
+===========
+
+
+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 linkxs:xs_setsockopt[3] and linkxs: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.
