Winsoc API: shutdown

参考MSDN:http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms740481(v=vs.85).aspx

The shutdown function disables sends or receives on a socket.

Syntax

int shutdown(
  _In_  SOCKET s,
  _In_  int how
);

Parameters

s [in]

A descriptor identifying a socket.

how [in]

A flag that describes what types of operation will no longer be allowed. Possible values for this flag are listed in the Winsock2.h header file.

Value	Meaning
SD_RECEIVE 0	Shutdown receive operations.
SD_SEND 1	Shutdown send operations.
SD_BOTH 2	Shutdown both send and receive operations.

Return value

If no error occurs, shutdown returns zero. Otherwise, a value of SOCKET_ERROR is returned, and a specific error code can be retrieved by calling WSAGetLastError.

Remarks

The shutdown function is used on all types of sockets to disable reception, transmission, or both.

If the how parameter is SD_RECEIVE, subsequent calls to the recv function on the socket will be disallowed. This has no effect on the lower protocol layers. For TCP sockets, if there is still data queued on the socket waiting to be received, or data arrives subsequently, the connection is reset, since the data cannot be delivered to the user. For UDP sockets, incoming datagrams are accepted and queued. In no case will an ICMP error packet be generated.

If the how parameter is SD_SEND, subsequent calls to the send function are disallowed. For TCP sockets, a FIN will be sent after all data is sent and acknowledged by the receiver.

Setting how to SD_BOTH disables both sends and receives as described above.

The shutdown function does not close the socket. Any resources attached to the socket will not be freed until closesocket is invoked.

To assure that all data is sent and received on a connected socket before it is closed, an application should use shutdown to close connection before calling closesocket.
