#Net.CloseConnection

##Syntax Net.CloseConnection (netStream : int)

##Description Closes a network connection made with Net.OpenConnection or Net.WaitForConnection. After the connection is closed, the net stream cannot be used for any purpose on either side of the connection.

##Details The Net module requires a TCP/IP stack to be installed and operating in order to function. It does not communicate using any other protocols

It is possible for Firewalls to interfere with the actions of the Net module, preventing connections from taking place.

##Example The following program fragment connects to port 5300 on the machine specified by netAddress, sends the work OK to it and closes the connection.

    netStream := Net.OpenConnection (netAddress, chatPort)
    if netStream <= 0 then
        put "Unable to connect to ", netAddress
        return
    end if
    put : netStream, "OK"
    Net.CloseConnection (netStream)

##Status Exported qualified.

This means that you can only call the function by calling Net.CloseConnection, not by calling CloseConnection.
