1484=item $handle->destroy
1485
1486Shuts down the handle object as much as possible - this call ensures that
1487no further callbacks will be invoked and resources will be freed as much
1488as possible. You must not call any methods on the object afterwards.
1489
1490Normally, you can just "forget" any references to an AnyEvent::Handle
1491object and it will simply shut down. This works in fatal error and EOF
1492callbacks, as well as code outside. It does I<NOT> work in a read or write
1493callback, so when you want to destroy the AnyEvent::Handle object from
1494within such an callback. You I<MUST> call C<< ->destroy >> explicitly in
1495that case.
1496
1497The handle might still linger in the background and write out remaining
1498data, as specified by the C<linger> option, however.

1550
1551=item I C<undef> the AnyEvent::Handle reference inside my callback and
1552still get further invocations!
1553
1554That's because AnyEvent::Handle keeps a reference to itself when handling
1555read or write callbacks.
1556
1557It is only safe to "forget" the reference inside EOF or error callbacks,
1558from within all other callbacks, you need to explicitly call the C<<
1559->destroy >> method.
1560
1561=item I get different callback invocations in TLS mode/Why can't I pause
1562reading?
1563
1564Unlike, say, TCP, TLS connections do not consist of two independent
1565communication channels, one for each direction. Or put differently. The
1566read and write directions are not independent of each other: you cannot
1567write data unless you are also prepared to read, and vice versa.
1568
1569This can mean than, in TLS mode, you might get C<on_error> or C<on_eof>
1570callback invocations when you are not expecting any read data - the reason
1571is that AnyEvent::Handle always reads in TLS mode.
1572
1573During the connection, you have to make sure that you always have a
1574non-empty read-queue, or an C<on_read> watcher. At the end of the
1575connection (or when you no longer want to use it) you can call the
1576C<destroy> method.
1577
1578=item How do I read data until the other side closes the connection?
1579
1580If you just want to read your data into a perl scalar, the easiest way
1581to achieve this is by setting an C<on_read> callback that does nothing,
1582clearing the C<on_eof> callback and in the C<on_error> callback, the data
1583will be in C<$_[0]{rbuf}>:
1584
1585 $handle->on_read (sub { });
1586 $handle->on_eof (undef);
1587 $handle->on_error (sub {
1588 my $data = delete $_[0]{rbuf};
1589 undef $handle;
1590 });
1591
1592The reason to use C<on_error> is that TCP connections, due to latencies
1593and packets loss, might get closed quite violently with an error, when in
1594fact, all data has been received.
1595
1596It is usually better to use acknowledgements when transferring data,
1597to make sure the other side hasn't just died and you got the data
1598intact. This is also one reason why so many internet protocols have an
1599explicit QUIT command.
1600
1601=item I don't want to destroy the handle too early - how do I wait until
1602all data has been written?
1603
1604After writing your last bits of data, set the C<on_drain> callback
1605and destroy the handle in there - with the default setting of
1606C<low_water_mark> this will be called precisely when all data has been
1607written to the socket:
1608
1609 $handle->push_write (...);
1610 $handle->on_drain (sub {
1611 warn "all data submitted to the kernel\n";
1612 undef $handle;
1613 });
