.SH NAME
SSL_set_shutdown, SSL_get_shutdown \- manipulate shutdown state of an SSL connection
.SH SYNOPSIS
.IX Header "SYNOPSIS"
.Vb 1
\& #include <openssl/ssl.h>
\&
\& void SSL_set_shutdown(SSL *ssl, int mode);
\&
\& int SSL_get_shutdown(const SSL *ssl);
.Ve
.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
\&\fBSSL_set_shutdown()\fR sets the shutdown state of \fBssl\fR to \fBmode\fR.
.PP
\&\fBSSL_get_shutdown()\fR returns the shutdown mode of \fBssl\fR.
.SH NOTES
.IX Header "NOTES"
The shutdown state of an ssl connection is a bit\-mask of:
.IP 0 4
No shutdown setting, yet.
.IP SSL_SENT_SHUTDOWN 4
.IX Item "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.
.IP SSL_RECEIVED_SHUTDOWN 4
.IX Item "SSL_RECEIVED_SHUTDOWN"
A shutdown alert was received form the peer, either a normal close_notify
or a fatal error.
.PP
SSL_SENT_SHUTDOWN and SSL_RECEIVED_SHUTDOWN can be set at the same time.
.PP
The shutdown state of the connection is used to determine the state of
the ssl session. If the session is still open, when
\&\fBSSL_clear\fR\|(3) or \fBSSL_free\fR\|(3) is called,
it is considered bad and removed according to RFC2246.
The actual condition for a correctly closed session is SSL_SENT_SHUTDOWN
(according to the TLS RFC, it is acceptable to only send the close_notify
alert but to not wait for the peer\*(Aqs answer, when the underlying connection
is closed).
\&\fBSSL_set_shutdown()\fR can be used to set this state without sending a
close alert to the peer (see \fBSSL_shutdown\fR\|(3)).
.PP
If a close_notify was received, SSL_RECEIVED_SHUTDOWN will be set,
for setting SSL_SENT_SHUTDOWN the application must however still call
\&\fBSSL_shutdown\fR\|(3) or \fBSSL_set_shutdown()\fR itself.
.PP
\&\fBSSL_set_shutdown()\fR is not supported for QUIC SSL objects.
.SH "RETURN VALUES"
.IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
\&\fBSSL_set_shutdown()\fR does not return diagnostic information.
.PP
\&\fBSSL_get_shutdown()\fR returns the current shutdown state as set or based
on the actual connection state.
.PP
\&\fBSSL_get_shutdown()\fR returns 0 if called on a QUIC stream SSL object. If it
is called on a QUIC connection SSL object, it returns a value with
SSL_SENT_SHUTDOWN set if CONNECTION_CLOSE has been sent to the peer and
it returns a value with SSL_RECEIVED_SHUTDOWN set if CONNECTION_CLOSE
has been received from the peer or the QUIC connection is fully terminated
for other reasons.
