WSLAY_EVENT_SHUTDOWN_READ(3)

💖 WSLAY_EVENT_SHUTDOWN_READ 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the wslay manual, section 3 (yes that's the library-calls section, iykyk). today's episode: wslay_event_shutdown_read, and it's literally the "girl, stop reading" button. 💅

---

✨ NAME ✨

wslay_event_shutdown_read — disable read operation 🛑

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <wslay/wslay.h>

void wslay_event_shutdown_read(wslay_event_context_ptr ctx)

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

wslay_event_shutdown_read() makes the event-based API context stop reading any more data from the peer. that's it. that's the whole job. no more incoming bytes for this context, periodt. 🙈

the way that this is a one-way ticket — you're telling the context "we're done listening", not "pause for a sec".

here's where it gets spicy 🌶️: this function may be used together with wslay_event_queue_close() — perfect combo when your application spots an error in the data it already received and wants to fail the WebSocket connection. caught a bad vibe in the payload? shutdown the read side, queue the close, and let it go. 💀✨
