L_LTDIC_API L_INT L_DicomCloseForced(hNet, bForced)

HDICOMNET hNet;	/* handle to an existing DICOM Network */
L_BOOL bForced;	/* flag */

Closes an ISCL connection. This function is available in the PACS Imaging toolkits.

Parameter	Description
hNet	Handle to an existing DICOM Network. This is the handle returned from the L_DicomCreateNet function.
bForced	Flag that indicates whether to force the disconnection. Possible values are:
	Value	Meaning
	TRUE	Kill the connection. (Force the disconnection.)
	FALSE	Request disconnection. The disconnection can be refused by a peer.

Returns

DICOM_SUCCESS	The function was successful.
>0	An error occurred. Refer to Return Codes.

Comments

When bForced is TRUE, the connection is closed immediately. Therefore, it is best to determine if the ISCL message queue is empty before calling this function. To determine whether the ISCL queue is empty, use the L_DicomIsISCLQueueEmpty function.

Please note that L_DicomCloseForced(hNet, FALSE) is queued in the ISCL message queue. (It will be processed later.) L_DicomCloseForced(hNet, TRUE) is immediate, however.
