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;

?
