It sends the +"close notify" shutdown alert to the peer. + +=head1 NOTES + +SSL_shutdown() tries to send the "close notify" shutdown alert to the peer. +Whether the operation succeeds or not, the SSL_SENT_SHUTDOWN flag is set and +a currently open session is considered closed and good and will be kept in the +session cache for further reuse. + +The shutdown procedure consists of 2 steps: the sending of the "close notify" +shutdown alert and the reception of the peer's "close notify" shutdown +alert. According to the TLS standard, it is acceptable for an application +to only send its shutdown alert and then close the underlying connection +without waiting for the peer's response (this way resources can be saved, +as the process can already terminate or serve another connection). +When the underlying connection shall be used for more communications, the +complete shutdown procedure (bidirectional "close notify" alerts) must be +performed, so that the peers stay synchronized. + +SSL_shutdown() supports both uni- and bidirectional shutdown by its 2 step +behaviour. + +=over 4 + +=item When the application is the first party to send the "close notify" +alert, SSL_shutdown() will only send the alert and then set the +SSL_SENT_SHUTDOWN flag (so that the session is considered good and will +be kept in cache). SSL_shutdown() will then return with 0. If a unidirectional +shutdown is enough (the underlying connection shall be closed anyway), this +first call to SSL_shutdown() is sufficient. In order to complete the +bidirectional shutdown handshake, SSL_shutdown() must be called again. +The second call will make SSL_shutdown() wait for the peer's "close notify" +shutdown alert. On success, the second call to SSL_shutdown() will return +with 1. + +=item If the peer already sent the "close notify" alert B<and> it was +already processed implicitly inside another function +(L<SSL_read(3)|SSL_read(3)>), the SSL_RECEIVED_SHUTDOWN flag is set. +SSL_shutdown() will send the "close notify" alert, set the SSL_SENT_SHUTDOWN +flag and will immediately return with 1. +Whether SSL_RECEIVED_SHUTDOWN is already set can be checked using the +SSL_get_shutdown() (see also L<SSL_set_shutdown(3)|SSL_set_shutdown(3)> call. + +=back + +It is therefore recommended, to check the return value of SSL_shutdown() +and call SSL_shutdown() again, if the bidirectional shutdown is not yet +complete (return value of the first call is 0). As the shutdown is not +specially handled in the SSLv2 protocol, SSL_shutdown() will succeed on +the first call. + +The behaviour of SSL_shutdown() additionally depends on the underlying BIO. + +If the underlying BIO is B<blocking>, SSL_shutdown() will only return once the +handshake step has been finished or an error occurred. + +If the underlying BIO is B<non-blocking>, SSL_shutdown() will also return +when the underlying BIO could not satisfy the needs of SSL_shutdown() +to continue the handshake. In this case a call to SSL_get_error() with the +return value of SSL_shutdown() will yield B<SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ> or +B<SSL_ERROR_WANT_WRITE>. The calling process then must repeat the call after +taking appropriate action to satisfy the needs of SSL_shutdown(). +The action depends on the underlying BIO. When using a non-blocking socket, +nothing is to be done, but select() can be used to check for the required +condition. When using a buffering BIO, like a BIO pair, data must be written +into or retrieved out of the BIO before being able to continue. + +SSL_shutdown() can be modified to only set the connection to "shutdown" +state but not actually send the "close notify" alert messages, +see L<SSL_CTX_set_quiet_shutdown(3)|SSL_CTX_set_quiet_shutdown(3)>. +When "quiet shutdown" is enabled, SSL_shutdown() will always succeed +and return 1. + +=head1 RETURN VALUES + +The following return values can occur: + +=over 4 + +=item 1 + +The shutdown was successfully completed. The "close notify" alert was sent +and the peer's "close notify" alert was received. + +=item 0 + +The shutdown is not yet finished. Call SSL_shutdown() for a second time, +if a bidirectional shutdown shall be performed. +The output of L<SSL_get_error(3)|SSL_get_error(3)> may be misleading, as an +erroneous SSL_ERROR_SYSCALL may be flagged even though no error occurred. + +=item -1 + +The shutdown was not successful because a fatal error occurred either +at the protocol level or a connection failure occurred. It can also occur if +action is need to continue the operation for non-blocking BIOs. +Call L<SSL_get_error(3)|SSL_get_error(3)> with the return value B<ret> +to find out the reason. + +=back + +=head1 SEE ALSO + +L<SSL_get_error(3)|SSL_get_error(3)>, L<SSL_connect(3)|SSL_connect(3)>, +L<SSL_accept(3)|SSL_accept(3)>, L<SSL_set_shutdown(3)|SSL_set_shutdown(3)>, +L<SSL_CTX_set_quiet_shutdown(3)|SSL_CTX_set_quiet_shutdown(3)>, +L<SSL_clear(3)|SSL_clear(3)>, L<SSL_free(3)|SSL_free(3)>, +L<ssl(3)|ssl(3)>, L<bio(3)|bio(3)> + +=cut |
