64=head2 SIGPIPE is not handled by this module
65
66SIGPIPE is not handled by this module, so one of the practical
67requirements of using it is to ignore SIGPIPE (C<$SIG{PIPE} =
68'IGNORE'>). At least, this is highly recommend in a networked program: If
69you use AnyEvent::Handle in a filter program (like sort), exiting on
70SIGPIPE is probably the right thing to do.

1495=item $handle->destroy
1496
1497Shuts down the handle object as much as possible - this call ensures that
1498no further callbacks will be invoked and resources will be freed as much
1499as possible. You must not call any methods on the object afterwards.
1500
1501Normally, you can just "forget" any references to an AnyEvent::Handle
1502object and it will simply shut down. This works in fatal error and EOF
1503callbacks, as well as code outside. It does I<NOT> work in a read or write
1504callback, so when you want to destroy the AnyEvent::Handle object from
1505within such an callback. You I<MUST> call C<< ->destroy >> explicitly in
1506that case.
1507
1508The handle might still linger in the background and write out remaining
1509data, as specified by the C<linger> option, however.

1561
1562=item I C<undef> the AnyEvent::Handle reference inside my callback and
1563still get further invocations!
1564
1565That's because AnyEvent::Handle keeps a reference to itself when handling
1566read or write callbacks.
1567
1568It is only safe to "forget" the reference inside EOF or error callbacks,
1569from within all other callbacks, you need to explicitly call the C<<
1570->destroy >> method.
1571
1572=item I get different callback invocations in TLS mode/Why can't I pause
1573reading?
1574
1575Unlike, say, TCP, TLS connections do not consist of two independent
1576communication channels, one for each direction. Or put differently. The
1577read and write directions are not independent of each other: you cannot
1578write data unless you are also prepared to read, and vice versa.
1579
1580This can mean than, in TLS mode, you might get C<on_error> or C<on_eof>
1581callback invocations when you are not expecting any read data - the reason
1582is that AnyEvent::Handle always reads in TLS mode.
1583
1584During the connection, you have to make sure that you always have a
1585non-empty read-queue, or an C<on_read> watcher. At the end of the
1586connection (or when you no longer want to use it) you can call the
1587C<destroy> method.
