+### `socket.resetAndDestroy()`
+
+<!-- YAML
+added: REPLACEME
+-->
+
+* Returns: {net.Socket}
+
+Close the TCP connection by sending an RST packet and destroy the stream.
+If this TCP socket is in connecting status, it will send an RST packet and destroy this TCP socket once it is connected.
+Otherwise, it will call `socket.destroy` with an `ERR_SOCKET_CLOSED` Error.
+If this is not a TCP socket (for example, a pipe), calling this method will immediately throw an `ERR_INVALID_HANDLE_TYPE` Error.
+
 ### `socket.resume()`
 
 * Returns: {net.Socket} The socket itself.
