Hello! There is a program that listens on a certain port, but sometimes it is urgently terminated, after which it cannot be started again (the port is busy). How can I free the port?

set the SO_REUSEADDR option when creating the socket.

End urgently? If the process is killed, then the port will not listen. Understand which component of the program works with this.
