winsock best way to call closesocket

[Mubashir Khan]

We are using winock 2.2 in one of our client server application. while we are
about to close the socket we use this logic.

while(!closesocket(s)) sleep(200);

is this the right way to call the winsock closeocket.

thanks

There shouldn't be any pending send at the time of close otherwise
underlying TCP connection sends reset to the other end. Read the below
