- close [<session_number>]
-
- Close the specified session. If you are running only one
- session, entering 'close' without arguments will close the
- session. If you have multiple sessions, entering 'close' without
- arguments will initiate a close on the current session.
-
- If you are running multiple sessions, the 'session' command will
- display a list of these sessions.
-
- Entering 'close' with a session number argument will initiate a
- close on the specified session.
-
- On an AX.25 session, this command initiates a disconnect.
-
- On an FTP or Telnet session, this command sends a FIN (i.e.
- initiates a close) on the session's TCP connection. This is an
- alternative to asking the remote host to initiate a close (QUIT
- to FTP, or the logout command appropriate for the remote system
- in the case of Telnet).
-
- If you are in an FTP or Telnet Converse session, you will have to
- press <F10> to escape to the "net>" prompt to issue the 'close'
- command. When either FTP or Telnet sees the incoming half of a
- TCP connection close, it automatically responds by closing the
- outgoing half of the connection. 'Close' is more graceful than
- the 'reset' command, in that it is less likely to leave the
- remote host in a "half-open" state.
