NAME

       shutdown - shut down socket send and receive operations

SYNOPSIS

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

       int shutdown(int socket, int how);

DESCRIPTION

       The shutdown() function disables subsequent send() and receive() operations on a socket, depending on the value of the how argument.

PARAMETERS

       how	       Specifies the type of shutdown.	The values are as follows:

		       SHUT_RD	       Disables further receive operations.

		       SHUT_WR	       Disables further send operations.

		       SHUT_RDWR       Disables further send and receive operations.

       socket	       Specifies the file descriptor of the socket.

RETURN VALUES

       Upon successful completion, shutdown() returns 0.  Otherwise, -1 is returned and errno is set to indicate the error.

ERRORS

       The shutdown() function will fail if:

       EBADF		       The socket argument is not a valid file descriptor.

       EINVAL		       The how argument is invalid.

       ENOTCONN 	       The socket is not connected.

       ENOTSOCK 	       The socket argument does not refer to a socket.

       The shutdown() function may fail if:

       ENOBUFS		       Insufficient resources were available in the system to perform the operation.

       ENOSR		       There were insufficient STREAMS resources available for the operation to complete.
