Who says close should not be initiated by client to immediately
terminate the channel & process?
Sure, it's not the normal way, but there is nothing wrong with it.
How the server shuts down the running program when receiving a CLOSE
request is outside specifications, but I would not expect it to wait for
the program to exit before responding to the CLOSE requests. But
implementations are free to wait if they insist. It's however not
guaranteed it's possible to send a kill signal after the CLOSE so
waiting like that puts the client in a little odd situation if the
program never exits.
EOF should differ significantly as it's unidirectional. Sending EOF
should only close stdin to the program, stdout should still be connected
to the channel.
