int gnutls_bye(gnutls_session_t session, gnutls_close_request_t how);
ARGUMENTS
gnutls_session_t session
is a gnutls_session_t structure.
gnutls_close_request_t how
is an integer
DESCRIPTION
Terminates the current TLS/SSL connection. The connection should
have been initiated using gnutls_handshake(). how should be one
of GNUTLS_SHUT_RDWR, GNUTLS_SHUT_WR.
In case of GNUTLS_SHUT_RDWR then the TLS connection gets
terminated and further receives and sends will be disallowed. If
the return value is zero you may continue using the connection.
GNUTLS_SHUT_RDWR actually sends an alert containing a close
request and waits for the peer to reply with the same message.
In case of GNUTLS_SHUT_WR then the TLS connection gets terminated
and further sends will be disallowed. In order to reuse the
connection you should wait for an EOF from the peer.
GNUTLS_SHUT_WR sends an alert containing a close request.
Note that not all implementations will properly terminate a TLS
connection. Some of them, usually for performance reasons, will
terminate only the underlying transport layer, thus causing a
transmission error to the peer. This error cannot be
distinguished from a malicious party prematurely terminating the
session, thus this behavior is not recommended.
This function may also return GNUTLS_E_AGAIN or
GNUTLS_E_INTERRUPTED; cf. gnutls_record_get_direction().
RETURNS
GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS on success, or an error code, see
function documentation for entire semantics.
