Analyzer socket-close-fgraph

# Name

socket-close-fgraph - close socket Flame Graph

This analyzer profiles socket close operations at the C-land level across OpenResty, Kong, and APISIX applications. It captures native stack traces during socket closure events, generating flame graphs that reveal the C-level execution paths leading to connection termination. The analyzer is valuable for diagnosing connection management issues, identifying unexpected socket closures, and understanding the native code behavior in network connection lifecycle.
