    Return a :dfn:`file object` associated with the socket.  (File objects are
-   described in :ref:`bltin-file-objects`.) The file object
-   references a :c:func:`dup`\ ped version of the socket file descriptor, so the
-   file object and socket object may be closed or garbage-collected independently.
+   described in :ref:`bltin-file-objects`.) The file object does not close the
+   socket explicitly when its :meth:`close` method is called, but only removes
+   its reference to the socket object, so that the socket will be closed if it
+   is not referenced from anywhere else.
+
    The socket must be in blocking mode (it can not have a timeout). The optional
    *mode* and *bufsize* arguments are interpreted the same way as by the built-in
    :func:`file` function.
