# mco_lews_stop
RT

### Prototype

        MCO_RET mco_lews_stop();

### Description

> The `mco_lews_stop()` function signals the web server to stop accepting new connections and terminate the main event loop started by `mco_lews_start()`.

> This function is typically called from another thread to initiate graceful shutdown. It does not wait for the server loop to exit — the calling thread should ensure that `mco_lews_start()` has completed before proceeding with cleanup.

> If the server is not running, this function has no effect and returns `MCO_S_OK`.

### Return Value

MCO_S_OK
Signal sent successfully (or server was not running).
