SHUTDOWN(P)						     POSIX Programmer's Manual						       SHUTDOWN(P)

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. The following sections are informative. EXAMPLES
None. APPLICATION USAGE
None. RATIONALE
None. FUTURE DIRECTIONS

GETSOCKNAME(P)						     POSIX Programmer's Manual						    GETSOCKNAME(P)

NAME
getsockname - get the socket name SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/socket.h> int getsockname(int socket, struct sockaddr *restrict address, socklen_t *restrict address_len); DESCRIPTION
The getsockname() function shall retrieve the locally-bound name of the specified socket, store this address in the sockaddr structure pointed to by the address argument, and store the length of this address in the object pointed to by the address_len argument. If the actual length of the address is greater than the length of the supplied sockaddr structure, the stored address shall be truncated. If the socket has not been bound to a local name, the value stored in the object pointed to by address is unspecified. RETURN VALUE
Upon successful completion, 0 shall be returned, the address argument shall point to the address of the socket, and the address_len argu- ment shall point to the length of the address. Otherwise, -1 shall be returned and errno set to indicate the error. ERRORS
The getsockname() function shall fail if: EBADF The socket argument is not a valid file descriptor. ENOTSOCK The socket argument does not refer to a socket. EOPNOTSUPP The operation is not supported for this socket's protocol. The getsockname() function may fail if: EINVAL The socket has been shut down. ENOBUFS Insufficient resources were available in the system to complete the function. The following sections are informative. EXAMPLES
