# nng\_dialer\_close(3)

close dialer

## NAME

nng\_dialer\_close - close dialer

## SYNOPSIS

```
#include <nng/nng.h>
int nng_dialer_close(nng_dialer d);
```

## DESCRIPTION

The `nng_dialer_close()` function closes the dialer *d*. This also closes any `nng_pipe` objects that have been created by the dialer.

Once this function returns, the dialer *d* and any of its resources are deallocated. Therefore it is an error to attempt to access *d* after this function has returned. (Attempts to do so will result in `NNG_ECLOSED` errors.)

Dialers are implicitly closed when the socket they are associated with is closed.

## RETURN VALUES

This function returns 0 on success, and non-zero otherwise.

## ERRORS

`NNG_ECLOSED`

Parameter *d* does not refer to an open dialer.
