I'd be surprised to see TCP RST when l_linger is > 0. That's not how
BSD operates.
if (tp->t_state < TCPS_ESTABLISHED)
tp = tcp_close(tp);
else if ((so->so_options & SO_LINGER) && so->so_linger == 0)
tp = tcp_drop(tp, 0);
else {
soisdisconnecting(so);
sbflush(&so->so_rcv);
tp = tcp_usrclosed(tp);
if (tp)
(void) tcp_output(tp);
}
tcp_drop happens only if l_onoff is 1 and l_linger is 0.
It sounds like the Java documentation is incorrect.
