The .Fa how argument specifies the type of shutdown. Possible values are: .Bl -tag -width ".Dv SHUT_RDWR" .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; see .Sx IMPLEMENTATION NOTES . .It Dv SHUT_RDWR Further sends and receives will be disallowed. Implies .Dv SHUT_WR . .El .Pp If the file descriptor .Fa s is associated with a .Dv SOCK_STREAM socket, all or part of the full-duplex connection will be shut down. .\" .Sh IMPLEMENTATION NOTES The following protocol specific actions apply to the use of .Dv SHUT_WR (and potentially also .Dv SHUT_RDWR ) , based on the properties of the socket associated with the file descriptor .Fa s . .Bl -column ".Dv PF_INET6" ".Dv SOCK_STREAM" ".Dv IPPROTO_SCTP" .It Sy Domain Ta Sy Type Ta Sy Protocol Ta Sy Action .It Dv PF_INET Ta Dv SOCK_DGRAM Ta Dv IPPROTO_SCTP Ta Failure, as socket is not connected. .It Dv PF_INET Ta Dv SOCK_DGRAM Ta Dv IPPROTO_UDP Ta Failure, as socket is not connected. .It Dv PF_INET Ta Dv SOCK_STREAM Ta Dv IPPROTO_SCTP Ta Send queued data and tear down association. .It Dv PF_INET Ta Dv SOCK_STREAM Ta Dv IPPROTO_TCP Ta Send queued data, wait for ACK, then send FIN. .It Dv PF_INET6 Ta Dv SOCK_DGRAM Ta Dv IPPROTO_SCTP Ta Failure, as socket is not connected. .It Dv PF_INET6 Ta Dv SOCK_DGRAM Ta Dv IPPROTO_UDP Ta Failure, as socket is not connected. .It Dv PF_INET6 Ta Dv SOCK_STREAM Ta Dv IPPROTO_SCTP Ta Send queued data and tear down association. .It Dv PF_INET6 Ta Dv SOCK_STREAM Ta Dv IPPROTO_TCP Ta 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 socket which is not connected. .It Bq Er ENOTSOCK The .Fa s argument does not refer to a socket. .El .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr connect 2 , .Xr socket 2 , .Xr inet 4 , .Xr inet6 4 .Sh STANDARDS The .Fn shutdown system call is expected to comply with .St -p1003.1g-2000 , when finalized. .Sh HISTORY The .Fn shutdown system call appeared in .Bx 4.2 . The .Dv SHUT_RD , SHUT_WR , and .Dv SHUT_RDWR constants appeared in .St -p1003.1g-2000 . .Sh AUTHORS .An -nosplit This manual page was updated by .An Bruce M. Simpson Aq Mt bms@FreeBSD.org to reflect how .Fn shutdown behaves with .Dv PF_INET and .Dv PF_INET6 sockets. .Sh BUGS The ICMP .Dq Li "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.
