...
boost::asio::socket_base::linger option(true, 30);
socket.set_option(option);

Getting the current option value:

boost::asio::ip::tcp::socket socket(io_service);
...
boost::asio::socket_base::linger option;
socket.get_option(option);
bool is_set = option.enabled();
unsigned short timeout = option.timeout();
