Possible values are: .Bl -tag -width "SHUT_RDWRXXX" -offset indent .It Dv SHUT_RD Further receives will be disallowed. .It Dv SHUT_WR Further sends will be disallowed. This may cause actions specific to the protocol family of the socket .Fa s to happen. .It Dv SHUT_RDWR Further sends and receives will be disallowed. .El .Pp The following protocol specific actions apply to the use of .Dv SHUT_WR based on the properties of the socket associated with the file descriptor .Fa s : .Bl -column "PF_INET6" "SOCK_STREAM" "IPPROTO_UDP" -offset indent .It DOMAIN Ta TYPE Ta PROTOCOL Ta "RETURN VALUE AND ACTION" .Pp .It Dv PF_INET Ta Dv SOCK_DGRAM Ta Dv IPPROTO_UDP Ta Return 0.

ICMP messages will .Em not be generated. .It Dv PF_INET6 Ta Dv SOCK_STREAM Ta Dv IPPROTO_TCP Ta Return 0. Send queued data, wait for ACK, then send FIN. .El .Sh RETURN VALUES .Rv -std shutdown .Sh ERRORS The .Fn shutdown system call fails if: .Bl -tag -width Er .It Bq Er EBADF The .Fa s argument is not a valid file descriptor. .It Bq Er EINVAL The .Fa how argument is invalid. .It Bq Er ENOTCONN The .Fa s argument specifies a .Dv SOCK_STREAM socket which is not connected. .It Bq Er ENOTSOCK The .Fa s argument does not refer to a socket. .It Bq Er EOPNOTSUPP The socket associated with the file descriptor .Fa s does not support this operation. .El .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr connect 2 , .Xr socket 2 , .Xr inet 4 , .Xr inet6 4 .Sh STANDARDS The .Fn shutdown function conforms to .St -p1003.1-2008 . .Sh HISTORY The .Fn shutdown function call appeared in .Bx 4.2 . The .Dv SHUT_RD , SHUT_WR , and .Dv SHUT_RDWR constants appeared in .St -p1003.1g-2000 . .Sh BUGS The ICMP .Dq port unreachable message should be generated in response to datagrams received on a local port to which .Fa s is bound after .Fn shutdown is called.
