### Parameters

  An open stream (opened with stream_socket_client(), for example)

`how`

  One of the following constants: `STREAM_SHUT_RD` (disable further receptions), `STREAM_SHUT_WR` (disable further transmissions) or `STREAM_SHUT_RDWR` (disable further receptions and transmissions).

### Return Values

Returns `TRUE` on success or `FALSE` on failure.

### Examples

Example #1 A stream_socket_shutdown() example

`<?php
$server = stream_socket_server('tcp://127.0.0.1:1337');
$client = stream_socket_client('tcp://127.0.0.1:1337');
var_dump(fputs($client, "hello"));
stream_socket_shutdown($client, STREAM_SHUT_WR);
var_dump(fputs($client, "hello")); // doesn't work now
?>`
