How to close a network?

Hi,

I saw a lot of examples about initializing a network. However, I could not find any tutorial about closing a network.

In network.h, i saw two functions which might be the function to call, but i don't understand the argument at all:

net_shutdown(s32 s, u32 how)
net_close(s32)

Any comment?

Thanks

The documentation authors think that it's so incredibly obvious that the barely named parameter is for the socket handle.

Thanks!

Can you give me some direction? I don't have any experience of network programming.

If I used net_init() and then downloaded some files, and now want to use net_shutdown(), what parameters should i passed into the function?

As I just told you, the "s" parameter is a socket handle. If you can't guess what socket handle that you should pass, please stop trying to do network coding, you clearly don't know what you are doing.

For the how? I think it's a bitflag field, look in network.h for the constants to OR together. Of course, this implies that you understand what they are supposed to do. I sure don't.

He never will know what he's doing if he never tries...

Yes, perhaps the better thing henke could've said is please read up on network theory before trying network coding, as you should know something about it before you start coding. But his point remains the same.
