                           User=SYSDBA; Password=masterkey');

2. Shutdown a database preventing new connections 

  Res = ibec_ShutdownDatabase('localhost:d:\data\mydb.fdb',
                          'ClientLib="d:\FBlientLibs\fbclient25.dll";
                           User=SYSDBA; Password=masterkey; DenyConnection');

3. Shutdown a database preventing new transactions 

  Res = ibec_ShutdownDatabase('localhost:d:\data\mydb.fdb',
                          'ClientLib="d:\FBlientLibs\fbclient25.dll";
                           User=SYSDBA; Password=masterkey; DenyTransaction');

4. Shutdown with timeout 1 minute 

  Res = ibec_ShutdownDatabase('localhost:d:\data\mydb.fdb',

                           User=SYSDBA; Password=masterkey; Mode=Full');

   Res = ibec_ShutdownDatabase('localhost:d:\mydb.fdb',
                          'ClientLib=C:\Program Files (x86)\HK-Software\IBExpert\firebird3\fbclient.dll;
                           Password=masterkey; User=SYSDBA;
                           ExpectedDB=d:\mydb.fdb');
