\membersection{wxSocketBase::SetNotify}\label{wxsocketbasesetnotify}

\func{void}{SetNotify}{\param{wxSocketEventFlags}{ event_flags}}

SetNotify setups which socket events are to be sent to the event handler.
You specify in parameters a mask of wxSocket events. The flags is:

\twocolwidtha{7cm}
\begin{twocollist}\itemsep=0pt
\twocolitem{{\bf wxSOCKET\_INPUT\_FLAG}}{to receive wxSOCKET_INPUT}
\twocolitem{{\bf wxSOCKET\_OUTPUT\_FLAG}}{to receive wxSOCKET_OUTPUT}
\twocolitem{{\bf wxSOCKET\_CONNECTION\_FLAG}}{to receive wxSOCKET_CONNECTION}
\twocolitem{{\bf wxSOCKET\_LOST\_FLAG}}{to receive wxSOCKET_LOST}
\end{twocollist}%

For example:
\begin{verbatim}
  sock.SetNotify(wxSOCKET\_INPUT\_FLAG | wxSOCKET\_LOST\_FLAG);
\end{verbatim}
In this example, the user will be notified about incoming socket datas and
a broken connection.

% Peek
%
\membersection{wxSocketBase::Peek}\label{wxsocketbasepeek}

\func{wxSocketBase\&}{Peek}{\param{char *}{ buffer}, \param{wxUint32}{ nbytes}}

This function peeks a buffer of {\it nbytes} bytes from the socket. Peeking a buffer
doesn't delete it from the system socket in-queue.

\wxheading{Parameters}

\docparam{buffer}{Buffer where to put peeked data.}

\docparam{nbytes}{Number of bytes.}

\wxheading{Return value}

Returns a reference to the current object.

% Read
%
\membersection{wxSocketBase::Read}\label{wxsocketbaseread}

\func{wxSocketBase\&}{Read}{\param{char *}{ buffer}, \param{wxUint32}{ nbytes}}

This function reads a buffer of {\it nbytes} bytes from the socket.

\wxheading{Parameters}

\docparam{buffer}{Buffer where to put read data.}

\docparam{nbytes}{Number of bytes.}

\wxheading{Return value}

Returns a reference to the current object.

\wxheading{Remark/Warning}

By default, Read uses an internal asynchronous manager: it will send data when
the socket requests them. It is particularly interesting when you enter a long
data transfer (e.g. a big file, an image, ...). But it is also buggy when you
simply discuss with the peer using user data. In this case, wxSocket prepares
itself to send data (Write wait for them to be sent) and during a GUI refresh
the user enters new data, which involves a new Read call though the previous
isn't finished. Well, in most cases it can work but it might fail too.
So I advise you to use the SPEED flag, which disables the asynchronous manager,
when you just want to discuss with the peer.

This remark is also valid for all IO call.

% Write
%
\membersection{wxSocketBase::Write}\label{wxsocketbasewrite}

\func{wxSocketBase\&}{Write}{\param{const char *}{ buffer}, \param{wxUint32}{ nbytes}}

This function writes a buffer of {\it nbytes} bytes from the socket.

\wxheading{Remark/Warning}

By default, Write uses an internal asynchronous manager: it will send data when
the socket requests them. It is particularly interesting when you enter a long
data transfer (e.g. a big file, an image, ...). But it is also buggy when you
simply discuss with the peer using user data. In this case, wxSocket prepares
itself to send data (Write wait for them to be sent) and during a GUI refresh
the user enters new data, which involves a new Write call though the previous
isn't finished. Well, in most cases it can work but it might fail too.  
So I advise you to use the SPEED flag, which disables the asynchronous manager,
when you just want to discuss with the peer.

\wxheading{Parameters}

\docparam{buffer}{Buffer where to get the data to write.}

\docparam{nbytes}{Number of bytes.}

\wxheading{Return value}

Returns a reference to the current object.

% WriteMsg
%
\membersection{wxSocketBase::WriteMsg}\label{wxsocketbasewritemsg}

\func{wxSocketBase\&}{WriteMsg}{\param{const char *}{ buffer}, \param{wxUint32}{ nbytes}}

This function writes a buffer of {\it nbytes} bytes from the socket. But it
writes a short header before so that ReadMsg can alloc the right size for
the buffer. So a buffer sent with WriteMsg {\bf must} be read with ReadMsg.

\wxheading{Parameters}

\docparam{buffer}{Buffer where to put data peeked.}

\docparam{nbytes}{Number of bytes.}

\wxheading{Return value}

Returns a reference to the current object.

% ReadMsg
%
\membersection{wxSocketBase::ReadMsg}\label{wxsocketbasereadmsg}

\func{wxSocketBase\&}{ReadMsg}{\param{char *}{ buffer}, \param{wxUint32}{ nbytes}}

This function reads a buffer sent by WriteMsg on a socket. If the buffer passed
to the function isn't big enough, the function filled it and then discard the
bytes left. This function always wait for the buffer to be entirely filled.

\wxheading{Parameters}

\docparam{buffer}{Buffer where to put read data.}

\docparam{nbytes}{Number of bytes allocated for the buffer.}

\wxheading{Return value}

Returns a reference to the current object.

%
% Unread
%
\membersection{wxSocketBase::Unread}\label{wxsocketbaseunread}

\func{wxSocketBase\&}{Unread}{\param{const char *}{ buffer}, \param{wxUint32}{ nbytes}}

This function unreads a buffer. It means that the buffer is put in the top
of the incoming queue. But, it is put also at the end of all unread buffers.
It is useful for sockets because we can't seek it.

\wxheading{Parameters}

\docparam{buffer}{Buffer to be unread.}

\docparam{nbytes}{Number of bytes.}

\wxheading{Return value}

Returns a reference to the current object.
