def shutdown_read(self):
self.shutdown(<NUM_LIT:0>)<EOL>
Shutdown the receiving side of this socket, closing the stream in
the incoming direction.  After this call, future reads on this
channel will fail instantly.  This is a convenience method, equivalent
to ``shutdown(0)``, for people who don't make it a habit to
memorize unix constants from the 1970s.
