+          # Set positive value if needing to send FIN on closing on non-Windows.
+          # (On Windows, Fluentd can send FIN with zero `linger_timeout` since Fluentd doesn't set 0 to SO_LINGER on Windows.

             # Socket-options can be specified from each plugin as needed, so most of them is not defined here for now.
