SO_LINGER uses a struct linger parameter, defined in <sys/socket.h>, which specifies</div><div> the desired state of the option and the linger interval (see below).

It accepts a struct</div><div> timeval parameter with the number of seconds and microseconds used to limit waits for output</div><div> operations to complete. If a send operation has blocked for this much time, it returns with a</div><div> partial count or with the error EWOULDBLOCK if no data were sent.
