NAME
       gnutls_bye - terminate the current TLS/SSL connection.

SYNOPSIS
       #include <gnutls/gnutls.h>

       int gnutls_bye(gnutls_session_t session, gnutls_close_request_t how);

ARGUMENTS
       gnutls_session_t session
		   is a gnutls_session_t structure.

       gnutls_close_request_t how
		   is an integer

DESCRIPTION
       Terminates  the	current  TLS/SSL  connection.  The  connection	should have been initiated using gnutls_handshake().  how should be one of
       GNUTLS_SHUT_RDWR, GNUTLS_SHUT_WR.

       In case of GNUTLS_SHUT_RDWR then the TLS connection gets terminated and further receives and sends will be disallowed.  If the return value
       is  zero you may continue using the connection.	GNUTLS_SHUT_RDWR actually sends an alert containing a close request and waits for the peer
       to reply with the same message.

       In case of GNUTLS_SHUT_WR then the TLS connection gets terminated and further sends will be disallowed. In order to  reuse  the	connection
       you should wait for an EOF from the peer.  GNUTLS_SHUT_WR sends an alert containing a close request.

       Note  that not all implementations will properly terminate a TLS connection.  Some of them, usually for performance reasons, will terminate
       only the underlying transport layer, thus causing a transmission error to the peer.  This error cannot be distinguished	from  a  malicious
       party prematurely terminating the session, thus this behavior is not recommended.

       This function may also return GNUTLS_E_AGAIN or GNUTLS_E_INTERRUPTED; cf.  gnutls_record_get_direction().

RETURNS
       GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS on success, or an error code, see function documentation for entire semantics.
