tcp_release_socket

#include <rtl.h>

BOOL tcp_release_socket (
    U8 socket );    /* TCP socket to release. */

The tcp_release_socket function de-allocates the memory used by the TCP socket. The argument socket specifies the handle of the socket to be released.

The tcp_release_socket function is in the RL-TCPnet library. The prototype is defined in rtl.h.

note

• You must call the tcp_release_socket function when you do not need the TCP socket any longer.
• After calling tcp_release_socket the socket is free to use by another process.

The tcp_release_socket function returns __TRUE if the TCP socket has been released successfully. Otherwise, the function returns __FALSE.

tcp_abort, tcp_close, tcp_get_socket

#include <rtl.h>

void disconnect_tcp (U8 tcp_soc) {
   ..
  /* This TCP connection needs to close immediately */
  tcp_abort (tcp_soc);
  /* Socket will not be needed anymore */
  tcp_release_socket (tcp_soc);
}
