tcp.destroy-service

function

Library: TCP/IP client and server support (OMTCP)
Import : omtcp.xmd

Declaration 
define external function tcp.destroy-service
  value tcp.service this-service


Purpose

Use tcp.destroy-service to explicitly close a TCP service object, effectively detaching the program from the TCP port.

Usage Notes

You can use tcp.destroy-service to destroy a sevice that has never been created or has already been destroyed.

Allowing the tcp.service variable to go out of scope has the same effect as using tcp.destroy-service.

No more client connection requests can be accepted once the connection is closed.

Example 


  import "omtcp.xmd" prefixed by tcp.
  
  process
     local tcp.service DemoService
  	. . .
     set DemoService to tcp.create-service on 5600
  	. . .
     tcp.destroy-service DemoService
