1500
1501Shuts down the handle object as much as possible - this call ensures that
1502no further callbacks will be invoked and resources will be freed as much
1503as possible. You must not call any methods on the object afterwards.
1504
1505Normally, you can just "forget" any references to an AnyEvent::Handle
1506object and it will simply shut down. This works in fatal error and EOF
1507callbacks, as well as code outside. It does I<NOT> work in a read or write
1508callback, so when you want to destroy the AnyEvent::Handle object from
1509within such an callback. You I<MUST> call C<< ->destroy >> explicitly in
1510that case.
1511
1512The handle might still linger in the background and write out remaining
1513data, as specified by the C<linger> option, however.

1565
1566=item I C<undef> the AnyEvent::Handle reference inside my callback and
1567still get further invocations!
1568
1569That's because AnyEvent::Handle keeps a reference to itself when handling
1570read or write callbacks.
1571
1572It is only safe to "forget" the reference inside EOF or error callbacks,
1573from within all other callbacks, you need to explicitly call the C<<
1574->destroy >> method.
1575
1576=item I get different callback invocations in TLS mode/Why can't I pause
1577reading?
1578
1579Unlike, say, TCP, TLS connections do not consist of two independent
1580communication channels, one for each direction. Or put differently. The
1581read and write directions are not independent of each other: you cannot
1582write data unless you are also prepared to read, and vice versa.
1583
1584This can mean than, in TLS mode, you might get C<on_error> or C<on_eof>
1585callback invocations when you are not expecting any read data - the reason
1586is that AnyEvent::Handle always reads in TLS mode.
1587
1588During the connection, you have to make sure that you always have a
1589non-empty read-queue, or an C<on_read> watcher. At the end of the
1590connection (or when you no longer want to use it) you can call the
1591C<destroy> method.
1592
1593=item How do I read data until the other side closes the connection?
1594
1595If you just want to read your data into a perl scalar, the easiest way
1596to achieve this is by setting an C<on_read> callback that does nothing,
1597clearing the C<on_eof> callback and in the C<on_error> callback, the data
1598will be in C<$_[0]{rbuf}>:
1599
1600 $handle->on_read (sub { });
1601 $handle->on_eof (undef);
1602 $handle->on_error (sub {
1603 my $data = delete $_[0]{rbuf};
1604 undef $handle;
1605 });
1606
1607The reason to use C<on_error> is that TCP connections, due to latencies
1608and packets loss, might get closed quite violently with an error, when in
1609fact, all data has been received.
1610
1611It is usually better to use acknowledgements when transferring data,
1612to make sure the other side hasn't just died and you got the data
1613intact. This is also one reason why so many internet protocols have an
1614explicit QUIT command.
1615
1616=item I don't want to destroy the handle too early - how do I wait until
1617all data has been written?
1618
1619After writing your last bits of data, set the C<on_drain> callback
1620and destroy the handle in there - with the default setting of
1621C<low_water_mark> this will be called precisely when all data has been
1622written to the socket:
1623
1624 $handle->push_write (...);
1625 $handle->on_drain (sub {
1626 warn "all data submitted to the kernel\n";
1627 undef $handle;
1628 });
