i open a tcl-socket and i want to kill it. I have try close $sock but that just close the connection and i have try unset sock but it not worked. So my question is how do i kill the socket?!

a simple "close <sock-id>" is sufficient.

EG, your socket pointer is located in $sock

close $sock

Doing

unset sock

will only unset the variable sock, and lot close any connection.

It would be wise to use
catch {close $sock}
though
