VMS Help  —  TCPIP Services, Programming Interfaces, Socket API Functions, close()  Description
    This function deletes a descriptor from the per-process object
    reference table. Associated TCP connections close first.
    If a call to connect() fails for a socket in connection mode,
    applications should use close() to deallocate the socket and
    descriptor.
