<h2 id="_description">DESCRIPTION</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph">
<p>The <code>nng_dialer_close()</code> function closes the dialer <em>d</em>.
This also closes any <a href="nng_pipe.5.html"><code>nng_pipe</code></a> objects that have
been created by the dialer.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Once this function returns, the dialer <em>d</em> and any of its resources
are deallocated.
Therefore it is an error to attempt to access <em>d</em> after
this function has returned.
(Attempts to do so will result in <code>NNG_ECLOSED</code> errors.)</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Dialers are implicitly closed when the socket they are associated with is closed.</p>
