Client Disconnect

This will disconnect the socket connection. By default the 'reconnect' option is set to true, so the client will immediately try to re-establish the connection.

client.disconnect()

Client Destroy

This will set 'reconnect' to false and then disconnect the socket. This results in a permanent disconnection, so it should be used for cleaning up unused clients. (e.g. in an automated test cleanup step)

client.destroy()
