Shutdown the full-duplex connection on socket so in the manner of how:

shut/rd

disallow further receiving

shut/wr

disallow further sending

shut/rdwr

disallow further receiving and sending

The system normally shuts down the connection itself when closing, so calling this manually is not often necessary. One usage example is using shut/wr to inform a server you have finished transmitting, while allowing it to continue sending to you.
