In the hypothetical design of dual-fd sockets (let's call these twockets), a close() on the writing twocket is equivalent to shutdown(sock, SHUT_RD) on the socket, and a close() on the reading twocket is equivalent to shutdown(sock, SHUT_WR) on the socket.
Oops, I think I meant that SHUT_RD is equivalent to closing the reading twocket, and SHUT_WR is equivalent to closing the writing twocket. -Mark
