Just try it:) You don't even need to modify your code for that. Simply
start your application within a debugger and call the shutdown function
by hand. While doing so, run a tcpdump to see what's happening.

And for the SO_LINGER option, right, there's some interaction with
close() and shutdown(). See socket(7).

Oh, for in-depth exploration of socket programming, see if you can
afford W. Richard Steven's books (_Unix Network Programming Vol1+Vol2_
for the practical part, _TCP/IP Illustrated Vol1/2/3_ for the theory).
They're really worth the money.
