Sets whether or not @conn expects a proper TLS close notification
before the connection is closed. If this is %TRUE (the default),
then @conn will expect to receive a TLS close notification from its
peer before the connection is closed, and will return a
%G_TLS_ERROR_EOF error if the connection is closed without proper
notification (since this may indicate a network error, or
man-in-the-middle attack).
In some protocols, the application will know whether or not the
connection was closed cleanly based on application-level data
(because the application-level data includes a length field, or is
somehow self-delimiting); in this case, the close notify is
redundant and sometimes omitted. (TLS 1.1 explicitly allows this;
in TLS 1.0 it is technically an error, but often done anyway.) You
can use g_tls_connection_set_require_close_notify() to tell @conn
to allow an "unannounced" connection close, in which case the close
will show up as a 0-length read, as in a non-TLS
#GSocketConnection, and it is up to the application to check that
the data has been fully received.
Note that this only affects the behavior when the peer closes the
connection; when the application calls g_io_stream_close() itself
on @conn, this will send a close notification regardless of the
setting of this property. If you explicitly want to do an unclean
close, you can close @conn's #GTlsConnection:base-io-stream rather
than closing @conn itself.
