+.TH HANDLER_NOTIFY_CLOSE 3 2024-07-13 0.4.0 "libweb Library Reference"
+
+.SH NAME
+handler_notify_close \- tell a web server handler object to close gracefully
+
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.LP
+.nf
+#include <libweb/handler.h>
+.P
+int handler_notify_close(struct handler *\fIh\fP);
+.fi
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.IR handler_notify_close (3)
+function notifies
+.I h
+to exit the loop entered to by
+.IR handler_loop (3).
+.IR h
+must have been returned by a previous call to
+.IR handler_alloc (3).
+
+This function is
+.IR async-signal-safe ,
+so it can be safely called from a signal handler. This is intentional,
+as applications would typically want to close the server on specific
+signals, such as
+.I SIGINT
+or
+.IR SIGTERM .
+
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+On success, zero is returned. On error, a negative integer is returned.
+
+.SH ERRORS
+No errors are defined.
+
+.SH SEE ALSO
+.BR handler_alloc (3),
+.BR handler_loop (3),
+.BR libweb_handler (7).
