SHUTDOWN(2)                                                        SHUTDOWN(2)



NAME
       shutdown - shut down part of a full-duplex connection

SYNOPSIS
       shutdown(s, how)
       int s, how;

DESCRIPTION
       The _s_h_u_t_d_o_w_n call causes all or part of a full-duplex connection on the
       socket associated with _s to be shut down.  If _h_o_w is  0,  then  further
       receives  will  be disallowed.  If _h_o_w is 1, then further sends will be
       disallowed.  If _h_o_w is 2, then further sends and receives will be  dis‐
       allowed.

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

ERRORS
       The call succeeds unless:

       [EBADF]        _S is not a valid descriptor.

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

       [ENOTCONN]     The specified socket is not connected.
