In asio, if I have a socket with pending asynchronous reads and writes, is there a way to selectively cancel only the reads or only the writes? All I can find is basic_stream_socket::cancel() which closes *all* pending operations on the socket.

Is socket::shutdown() what you're looking for?

http://www.boost.org/doc/html/boost_asio/reference/basic_socket/shutdown.htm...

However, I'm not sure if it cancels all corresponding pending operations or just puts them on hold.

Hmm, interesting, shutdown() wasn't exactly what I was looking for, but it does actually work for my particular situation. Thanks! Alex
