udp_release_socket

#include <rtl.h>

BOOL udp_release_socket (
    U8 socket);    /* Socket handle to release. */

The udp_release_socket function releases the the socket identified in the function argument and de-allocates its memory.

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

note

• Once the socket is released, TCPnet can allocate the socket to another process.
• You must call the udp_release_socket function when you do not need the UDP socket any longer.

The udp_release_socket function returns __TRUE if the UDP socket is successfully released. Otherwise, the function returns __FALSE.

udp_close, udp_get_socket

#include <rtl.h>

void disconnect_udp (U8 udp_soc) {
   ..
  /* This UDP connection is no longer needed */
  udp_close (udp_soc);
  udp_release_socket (udp_soc);
}
