Usage: dc &lt;descriptor number&gt;

[DC](/help/wizhelp/dc/) (DisConnect) is used to disconnect a socket.  If used on a playing socket,
the player will lose his/her link, but, unlike [PURGE](/help/wizhelp/purge/), will not extract the
player or dump the player's inventory on the ground.

[DC](/help/wizhelp/dc/) is also useful for disconnecting people who have accidentally left
themselves at the main menu, or connections sitting in the "Get name" state.
