Description
Description
stream_context_set_option() function currently does not list/support socket layer SO_LINGER option. Adding this, and probably any other socket options to streams will improve stream functionality.
$conn = @stream_socket_accept(9999, 0)
$stream_opts = [
'socket' => ['so_linger' => 0 ]
];
stream_context_set_option($conn, $stream_opts);

Research direction
Start by tracing stream_context_set_option() and the stream socket option handling, then compare how SO_LINGER is represented and applied at the socket layer. Done means the so_linger option is accepted for streams and its setting affects the underlying socket as intended.
