The principle of the reform was to align FPC with the standard (BSD)
socket api's.
However close is a bit of a problem, because under Unix you directly use
close (2) or (3), which is not a specific socket function, while under
Windows you need a specific socket function (wsaclose) to close.
Since it is not a standarized unix function, no FPC prefix, though on
unix you could use fpclose for which closesocket is an alias.
It is just there to avoid endless
{$ifdef unix}
fpclose(socket);
{$else}
{$ifdef windows}
wsaclose(socket}
{$else}
{$error don't know how to close]
{$endif}
{$endif}
sequences so that you can crossplatformwise close a socket.
