Net IPC 3000/XL Programmer's Reference Manual

Terminating Processes 

The final phase is the termination of the slave process, and the shutting
down of the communications channel between the master and the slave.
With PTOP, both of these functions are performed by the PCLOSE intrinsic.
With NetIPC and RPM, the process termination is done by  RPMKILL, while
the channel is shut down by  IPCSHUTDOWN. In both PTOP and NetIPC/RPM,
clean up on the slave is done automatically upon its termination.

To convert the PTOP intrinsic listed below, perform the following steps.

 *  Call  RPMKILL to terminate the slave by using the program descriptor
    returned by  RPMCREATE.

 *  Call  IPCSHUTDOWN to shutdown the master's end of the virtual-circuit
    connection.
