NAME

an_close - close an open socket

SYNOPSIS

#include <antinat.h>

DESCRIPTION

The an_close(3) function is used close a connection that had previously been created with an_accept(3), an_connect_tohostname(3) or an_connect_tosockaddr(3). Closing the socket does not destroy the handle; it terminates the network connection but the handle remains open to make other connections with. To destroy the handle, use an_destroy(3).

s is a socket previously created with an_new_connection(3), and connected using an_accept(3), an_connect_tohostname(3) or an_connect_tosockaddr(3).

RETURN VALUE

This call returns AN_ERROR_SUCCESS to indicate successful completion.

ERRORS

AN_ERROR_INVALIDARG: The connection supplied is not a valid connection.
AN_ERROR_NOTSUPPORTED: The proxy type or address type is not supported.
