nng_listener_close(3)

# nng_listener_close(3) Manual Page

## NAME

nng_listener_close - close listener

## SYNOPSIS

    #include <nng/nng.h>

    int nng_listener_close(nng_listener l);

## DESCRIPTION

The `nng_listener_close()` function closes the listener l. This also closes any pipes that have been created by the listener.

Once this function returns, the listener l and any of its resources are deallocated. Therefore it is an error to attempt to access l after this function has returned. (Attempts to do so will result in `NNG_ECLOSED` errors.)

Listeners are implicitly closed when the socket they are associated with is closed.

## RETURN VALUES

This function returns 0 on success, and non-zero otherwise.

## ERRORS

`NNG_ECLOSED` | Parameter l does not refer to an open listener.
