websocket::stream::async_close

Start an asynchronous operation to send a WebSocket close frame.

Synopsis
template<
    class CloseHandler>
DEDUCED
async_close(
    close_reason const& cr,
    CloseHandler&& handler);
Description

This function is used to asynchronously send a close frame on the stream. This function call always returns immediately. The asynchronous operation will continue until one of the following conditions is true:

This operation is implemented in terms of one or more calls to the next layer's async_write_some functions, and is known as a composed operation. The program must ensure that the stream performs no other write operations (such as websocket::stream::async_ping, websocket::stream::async_write, websocket::stream::async_write_some, or websocket::stream::async_close) until this operation completes.

If the close reason specifies a close code other than beast::websocket::close_code::none, the close frame is sent with the close code and optional reason string. Otherwise, the close frame is sent with no payload.

Callers should not attempt to write WebSocket data after initiating the close. Instead, callers should continue reading until an error occurs. A read returning websocket::closed indicates a successful connection closure.

Parameters

Name

Description

cr

The reason for the close.

handler

Invoked when the operation completes. The handler may be moved or copied as needed. The function signature of the handler must be:

void handler(
    error_code const& ec     // Result of operation
);

Regardless of whether the asynchronous operation completes immediately or not, the handler will not be invoked from within this function. Invocation of the handler will be performed in a manner equivalent to using boost::asio::io_context::post.
