Inherited from socket_base.

Socket option to specify whether the socket lingers on close if unsent data is present.

typedef implementation_defined linger;

Implements the SOL_SOCKET/SO_LINGER socket option.

Examples

Setting the option:

asio::ip::tcp::socket socket(my_context);
...
asio::socket_base::linger option(true, 30);
socket.set_option(option);

Getting the current option value:

asio::ip::tcp::socket socket(my_context);
...
asio::socket_base::linger option;
socket.get_option(option);
bool is_set = option.enabled();
unsigned short timeout = option.timeout();

Requirements

Header: asio/basic_socket.hpp

Convenience header: asio.hpp
