+ * io_sock_shutdown - start socket close process (flushes TCP sockets).
+ * @conn: the connection the plan is for
+ *
+ * Simply closing a TCP socket can lose data; unfortunately you should
+ * shutdown(SHUT_WR) and wait for the other side to see this and close.
+ * Of course, you also need to set a timer, in case it doesn't (you may
+ * already have some responsiveness timer, of course).
+ *
+ * On error, is equivalent to io_close().
+ *
+ * Example:
+ * #include <ccan/timer/timer.h>
+ *
+ * // Timer infra needs wrapper to contain extra data.
+ * struct timeout_timer {
+ * struct timer t;
+ * struct io_conn *conn;
+ * };
+ * static struct timers timers;
+ *
+ * static struct io_plan *flush_and_close(struct io_conn *conn)
+ * {
+ * struct timeout_timer *timeout;
+ * // Freed if conn closes normally.
+ * timeout = tal(conn, struct timeout_timer);
+ * timeout->conn = conn;
+ * timer_addrel(&timers, &timeout->t, time_from_sec(5));
+ * return io_sock_shutdown(conn);
+ * }
