How do I stop a Listening server in Go

Question

I\'ve been trying to find a way to stop a listening server in Go gracefully. Because listen.Accept blocks it is necessary to close the listening socket to sign

Something among these lines might work in this case, I hope:

// Listen for incoming connections
func (es *EchoServer) serve() {
        for {
                conn, err := es.listen.Accept()
                if err != nil {
                    if x, ok := err.(*net.OpError); ok && x.Op == "accept" { // We're done
                            log.Print("Stoping")
                            break
                    }

                    log.Printf("Accept failed: %v", err)
                    continue
                }
                go es.respond(conn.(*net.TCPConn))
        }
        es.done <- true
}
