Name

t_close − close a transport endpoint

Syntax

#include <xti.h>
int t_close fd)
int fd;

Arguments

fdIdentifies the local transport endpoint. 

Description

The t_close() function informs the transport provider that the user is finished with the transport endpoint specified by fd and frees any local library resources associated with the endpoint. In addition, t_close() closes the file associated with the transport endpoint.

The t_close() function should be called from the T_UNBND state. However, this function does not check state information, so it can be called from any state to close a transport endpoint. If this occurs, the local library resources associated with the endpoint are freed automatically. In addition, close() is issued for that file descriptor; the t_close() abortives if there are no other descriptors in this or in another process that references the transport endpoint and breaks the transport connection that may be associated with that endpoint.

Return Values

Diagnostics
