xs_term(3) ========== 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.
