In 4.2BSD (and hence [old?] SunOS), an `int' which is the linger time.
To turn it off, you must use SO_DONTLINGER.

In 4.3BSD and later, a structure called `linger', defined in <socket.h>:

/*
 * Structure used for manipulating linger option.
 */
struct	linger {
	int	l_onoff;		/* option on/off */
	int	l_linger;		/* linger time */
};
