The "flags" argument is completely unused?

isn't it just something like (in pseudo code):

	port_id port = create_port(...);
	status = SendToServer(initiate shutdown, port);
	while (status == B_OK) {
		struct {
			int32 stage;
			char message[256];
		} s;
		status = read_port(..., s, timeout);

		progress(s.stage, s.message, cookie);

		if (stage >= 100)
			break;
	}
	return B_OK;

?
