terminate PG connections

Hello PG Users,
I would like to know if  there is  a "clean" way to terminate  running
and idle connections inside PG db ?
 ( I see : pg_cancel_backend (pid) will send the connections to idle
stage but not disconnecting from db , if you have  > 100  idle
connections to db  and don't want to use  the OS " kill "  )

Thank you
Isabella
