POSIX specification: @url{http://www.opengroup.org/susv3xsh/close.html}

Gnulib module: sys_socket

Portability problems fixed by Gnulib:
@itemize
@item
On Windows platforms (excluding Cygwin), @code{socket} and @code{accept}
do not return file descriptors that can be closed by @code{close}.
Instead, @code{closesocket} must be used.
@end itemize

Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib:
@itemize
@item
On BeOS, @code{socket} and @code{accept} do not return file descriptors
that can be closed by @code{close}.  Instead, @code{closesocket} must be
used.
