  NAME

    sni_close - Closes a connection

  LIBRARY

    INC Library (libinc.a)

  SYNOPSIS

    char *sni_close(
      long *sd );

  PARAMETERS

    sd   A pointer to a long integer representing a network connection

  DESCRIPTION

    The sni_close() disconnects and carries out various housekeeping functions
    to clean up the requester/server connection.  Both the server and
    requester must call sni_close() to end a connection.

    The sd parameter points to the long obtained with sni_accept() or
    sni_connect().  The long specifies a unique identifier assigned to a
    connection, called a Simple Network Interface (SNI)descriptor.  Upon
    successful completion, sd points to 0.

  RETURN VALUES

    Upon successful completion, a null pointer is returned.  Otherwise, a
    pointer to an error message is returned.
