p4 OpenVMS usage:mask_longword type: longword (unsigned) access: read only mechanism: by value Longword of shutdown flags to specify the disposition of pending I/O operations on the socket. The p4 argument is used only with the IO$M_SHUTDOWN function modifier. The following table lists available shutdown flags. Shutdown Flag Description TCPIP$C_DSC_ Discards messages from the receive queue and RCV disallows further receiving. Pending messages in the receive queue for this connection are discarded. TCPIP$C_DSC_ Discards messages from the send queue and SND disallows sending new messages. Pending messages in the transmit queue for this connection are discarded. TCPIP$C_DSC_ Discards all messages and disallows both ALL sending and receiving. All pending messages are discarded. Specifying this flag has the same effect as issuing a $CANCEL QIO followed by an IO$_DEACCESS QIO without specifying any flags.
