+NAME
+----
+xs_term - terminate the context
+
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+*int xs_term (void '*context');*
+
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+The _xs_term()_ function shall terminate the Crossroads context 'context'.
+
+Context termination is performed in the following steps:
+
+1. Any blocking operations currently in progress on sockets open within
+ 'context' shall return immediately with an error code of ETERM. With the
+ exception of _xs_close()_, any further operations on sockets open within
+ 'context' shall fail with an error code of ETERM.
+
+2. After interrupting all blocking calls, _xs_term()_ shall _block_ until the
+ following conditions are satisfied:
++
+ * All sockets open within 'context' have been closed with _xs_close()_.
+
+ * For each socket within 'context', all messages sent by the application
+ with _xs_send()_ have either been physically transferred to a network
+ peer, or the socket's linger period set with the _XS_LINGER_ socket
+ option has expired.
+
+For further details regarding socket linger behaviour refer to the _XS_LINGER_
+option in linkxs:xs_setsockopt[3].
+
+
+RETURN VALUE
+------------
+The _xs_term()_ function shall return zero if successful. Otherwise it shall
+return `-1` and set 'errno' to one of the values defined below.
+
+
+ERRORS
+------
+*EFAULT*::
+The provided 'context' was invalid.
+*EINTR*::
+Termination was interrupted by a signal. It can be restarted if needed.
