        Use SetFlags to customize IO operation for this socket.
        The @a flags parameter may be a combination of flags ORed together.
        The following flags can be used:

        @b wxSOCKET_NONE

        Normal functionality.

        @b wxSOCKET_NOWAIT

        Read/write as much data as possible and return immediately.

        @b wxSOCKET_WAITALL

        Wait for all required data to be read/written unless an error occurs.

        @b wxSOCKET_BLOCK

        Block the GUI (do not yield) while reading/writing data.

        @b wxSOCKET_REUSEADDR

        Allows the use of an in-use port (wxServerSocket only)

        @b wxSOCKET_BROADCAST

        Switches the socket to broadcast mode

        @b wxSOCKET_NOBIND

        Stops the socket from being bound to a specific adapter (normally used in
        conjunction with @b wxSOCKET_BROADCAST)

        A brief overview on how to use these flags follows.
        If no flag is specified (this is the same as @b wxSOCKET_NONE),
        IO calls will return after some data has been read or written, even
        when the transfer might not be complete. This is the same as issuing
        exactly one blocking low-level call to recv() or send(). Note
        that @e blocking here refers to when the function returns, not
        to whether the GUI blocks during this time.
        If @b wxSOCKET_NOWAIT is specified, IO calls will return immediately.
        Read operations will retrieve only available data. Write operations will
        write as much data as possible, depending on how much space is available
        in the output buffer. This is the same as issuing exactly one nonblocking
        low-level call to recv() or send(). Note that @e nonblocking here
        refers to when the function returns, not to whether the GUI blocks during
        this time.
        If @b wxSOCKET_WAITALL is specified, IO calls won't return until ALL
        the data has been read or written (or until an error occurs), blocking if
        necessary, and issuing several low level calls if necessary. This is the
        same as having a loop which makes as many blocking low-level calls to
        recv() or send() as needed so as to transfer all the data. Note
        that @e blocking here refers to when the function returns, not
        to whether the GUI blocks during this time.
        The @b wxSOCKET_BLOCK flag controls whether the GUI blocks during
        IO operations. If this flag is specified, the socket will not yield
        during IO calls, so the GUI will remain blocked until the operation
        completes. If it is not used, then the application must take extra
        care to avoid unwanted reentrance.
        The @b wxSOCKET_REUSEADDR flag controls the use of the SO_REUSEADDR standard
        setsockopt() flag. This flag allows the socket to bind to a port that is
        already in use.
        This is mostly used on UNIX-based systems to allow rapid starting and stopping
        of a server -
        otherwise you may have to wait several minutes for the port to become available.
        wxSOCKET_REUSEADDR can also be used with socket clients to (re)bind to a
        particular local port
        for an outgoing connection.
        This option can have surprising platform dependent behavior, so check the
        documentation for
        your platform's implementation of setsockopt(). Note that on BSD-based systems
        (e.g. Mac OS X),
        use of wxSOCKET_REUSEADDR implies SO_REUSEPORT in addition to SO_REUSEADDR to
        be consistent
        with Windows.
        The @b wxSOCKET_BROADCAST flag controls the use of the SO_BROADCAST standard
        setsockopt() flag. This flag allows the socket to use the broadcast address,
        and is generally
        used in conjunction with @b wxSOCKET_NOBIND and wxIPaddress::BroadcastAddress.
        So:
        @b wxSOCKET_NONE will try to read at least SOME data, no matter how much.
        @b wxSOCKET_NOWAIT will always return immediately, even if it cannot
        read or write ANY data.
        @b wxSOCKET_WAITALL will only return when it has read or written ALL
        the data.
        @b wxSOCKET_BLOCK has nothing to do with the previous flags and
        it controls whether the GUI blocks.
        @b wxSOCKET_REUSEADDR controls special platform-specific behavior for
        reusing local addresses/ports.
