shutdown

See the current Perl documentation for shutdown.

Here is our local, out-dated (pre-5.6) version:


shutdown - close down just half of a socket connection



shutdown SOCKET,HOW



Shuts down a socket connection in the manner indicated by HOW, which has the same interpretation as in the system call of the same name.

    shutdown(SOCKET, 0);    # I/we have stopped reading data
    shutdown(SOCKET, 1);    # I/we have stopped writing data
    shutdown(SOCKET, 2);    # I/we have stopped using this socket

This is useful with sockets when you want to tell the other side you're done writing but not done reading, or vice versa. It's also a more insistent form of close because it also disables the filedescriptor in any forked copies in other processes.
