SSL_set_shutdown, SSL_get_shutdown - manipulate shutdown
       state of an SSL connection


SYNOPSIS

        #include <openssl/ssl.h>

        void SSL_set_shutdown(SSL *ssl, int mode);

        int SSL_get_shutdown(SSL *ssl);


DESCRIPTION

       SSL_set_shutdown() sets the shutdown state of ssl to mode.

       SSL_get_shutdown() returns the shutdown mode of ssl.


NOTES

       The shutdown state of an ssl connection is a bitmask of:

       0   No shutdown setting, yet.

       SSL_SENT_SHUTDOWN
           A "close notify" shutdown alert was sent to the peer,
           the connection is being considered closed and the
           session is closed and correct.

       SSL_RECEIVED_SHUTDOWN
           A shutdown alert was received form the peer, either a
           normal "close notify" or a fatal error.

       SSL_SENT_SHUTDOWN and SSL_RECEIVED_SHUTDOWN can be set at
       the same time.

       The shutdown state of the connection is used to determine
       the state of the ssl session. If the session is still
       open, when SSL_clear(3) or SSL_free(3) is called, it is
       considered bad and removed according to RFC2246.  The
       actual condition for a correctly closed session is
       SSL_SENT_SHUTDOWN.  SSL_set_shutdown() can be used to set
       this state without sending a close alert to the peer (see
       SSL_shutdown(3)).

       If a "close notify" was received, SSL_RECEIVED_SHUTDOWN
       will be set, for setting SSL_SENT_SHUTDOWN the application
       must however still call SSL_shutdown(3) or
       SSL_set_shutdown() itself.


RETURN VALUES

       SSL_set_shutdown() does not return diagnostic information.

       SSL_get_shutdown() returns the current setting.

       ssl(3), SSL_shutdown(3), SSL_clear(3), SSL_free(3)
