See more Socket/SSL/TLS Examples

Demonstrates Socket.Close, which gracefully terminates and closes the current TCP, TLS, or SSH channel connection. The argument bounds how long to wait for clean shutdown processing.

    //  connection succeeds; the 4th is the maximum time to wait, in milliseconds.
