Class: java.util.logging.SocketHandler
Method: public void close()

Specification describes this method:
============================================
public void close()
           throws SecurityException

    Close this output stream.

    Overrides:
        close in class StreamHandler

    Throws:
        SecurityException - if a security manager exists and if the caller does not have LoggingPermission("control").
============================================

In fact, this method not only closes the stream, but does more things, described for the base class (StreamHandler) method:
============================================
public void close()
           throws SecurityException

    Close the current output stream.

    The Formatter's "tail" string is written to the stream before it is closed. In addition, if the Formatter's "head" string has not yet been written to the stream, it will be written before the "tail" string.
============================================

It is not mentioned for java.util.logging.SocketHandler.close() method, that it performs the same operations, as java.util.logging.StreamHandler.close().
