NAME

       shutdown - shut down part of a full-duplex connection

SYNOPSIS

       cc [ flag... ] file... -lsocket	-lnsl  [ library... ]
       #include <sys/socket.h>

       int shutdown(int s, int how);

DESCRIPTION

       The shutdown() call shuts down all or part of a full-duplex connection on the socket associated with s. If how is SHUT_RD, further receives
       are disallowed. If how is SHUT_WR, further sends are disallowed. If how is SHUT_RDWR, further sends and receives are disallowed.

       The how values should be defined constants.

RETURN VALUES

       0 is returned if the call succeeds.

       -1 is returned if the call fails.

ERRORS

       The call succeeds unless one of the following conditions exists:

       EBADF	   The s value is not a valid file descriptor.

       ENOMEM	   Insufficient user memory is available for the operation to complete.

       ENOSR	   Insufficient STREAMS resources are available for the operation to complete.

       ENOTCONN    The specified socket is not connected.

       ENOTSOCK    The s value is not a socket.

SYNOPSIS

     #include <sys/socket.h>

     int
     shutdown(int s, int how);

DESCRIPTION

     The shutdown() call causes all or part of a full-duplex connection on the socket associated with s to be shut down.  The how argument speci-
     fies which part of the connection will be shut down.  Permissible values are:

	   SHUT_RD	further receives will be disallowed.

	   SHUT_WR	further sends will be disallowed.

	   SHUT_RDWR	further sends and receives will be disallowed.

RETURN VALUES

     A 0 is returned if the call succeeds, -1 if it fails.

ERRORS

     The call succeeds unless:

     [EBADF]		s is not a valid descriptor.

     [EINVAL]		The how argument is invalid.

     [ENOTCONN] 	The specified socket is not connected.

     [ENOTSOCK] 	s is a file, not a socket.

SEE ALSO

     connect(2), socket(2)

HISTORY

     The shutdown() function call appeared in 4.2BSD.  The how arguments used to be simply 0, 1, and 2, but now have named values as specified by
     X/Open Portability Guide Issue 4 (``XPG4'').
