In 4.2BSD (and hence [old?] SunOS), an `int' which is the linger time. To turn it off, you must use SO_DONTLINGER. In 4.3BSD and later, a structure called `linger', defined in: /* * Structure used for manipulating linger option. */ struct linger { int l_onoff; /* option on/off */ int l_linger; /* linger time */ }; -- In-Real-Life: Chris Torek, Univ of MD Comp Sci Dept (+1 301 454 7163) Domain: chris@mimsy.umd.edu Path: uunet!mimsy!chris
