PROLOG
       This  manual  page  is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The Linux implementation of this interface
       may differ (consult the corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the  interface
       may not be implemented on Linux.


NAME
       shutdown — shut down socket send and receive operations


SYNOPSIS
       #include <sys/socket.h>

       int shutdown(int socket, int how);


DESCRIPTION
       The shutdown() function shall cause all or part of a full-duplex connection on the socket associated with
       the file descriptor socket to be shut down.

       The shutdown() function takes the following arguments:

       socket      Specifies the file descriptor of the socket.

       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.

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


RETURN VALUE
       Upon  successful  completion, shutdown() shall return 0; otherwise, -1 shall be returned and errno set to
       indicate the error.


ERRORS
       The shutdown() function shall 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.
