500 A brief note on how to use these events:
501
502 The @b wxSOCKET_INPUT event will be issued whenever there is data available
503 for reading. This will be the case if the input queue was empty and new data
504 arrives, or if the application has read some data yet there is still more data
505 available. This means that the application does not need to read all available
506 data in response to a @b wxSOCKET_INPUT event, as more events will be produced
507 as necessary.
508
509 The @b wxSOCKET_OUTPUT event is issued when a socket is first connected with
510 Connect() or accepted with Accept(). After that, new events will be generated
511 only after an output operation fails with @b wxSOCKET_WOULDBLOCK and buffer space
512 becomes available again. This means that the application should assume that it can
513 write data to the socket until an @b wxSOCKET_WOULDBLOCK error occurs; after this,
514 whenever the socket becomes writable again the application will be notified with
515 another @b wxSOCKET_OUTPUT event.
516
517 The @b wxSOCKET_CONNECTION event is issued when a delayed connection request completes
518 successfully (client) or when a new connection arrives at the incoming queue (server).
519
520 The @b wxSOCKET_LOST event is issued when a close indication is received for the socket.
521 This means that the connection broke down or that it was closed by the peer. Also, this
522 event will be issued if a connection request fails.
523 */
524 enum wxSocketEventFlags
525 {
526 wxSOCKET_INPUT, ///< There is data available for reading.
527 wxSOCKET_OUTPUT, ///< The socket is ready to be written to.

534 /**
535 @anchor wxSocketFlags
536
537 wxSocket Flags.
538
539 A brief overview on how to use these flags follows.
540
541 If no flag is specified (this is the same as @b wxSOCKET_NONE),
542 IO calls will return after some data has been read or written, even
543 when the transfer might not be complete. This is the same as issuing
544 exactly one blocking low-level call to @b recv() or @b send(). Note
545 that @e blocking here refers to when the function returns, not
546 to whether the GUI blocks during this time.
547
548 If @b wxSOCKET_NOWAIT is specified, IO calls will return immediately.
549 Read operations will retrieve only available data. Write operations will
550 write as much data as possible, depending on how much space is available
551 in the output buffer. This is the same as issuing exactly one nonblocking
552 low-level call to @b recv() or @b send(). Note that @e nonblocking here
553 refers to when the function returns, not to whether the GUI blocks during
554 this time.
555
556 If @b wxSOCKET_WAITALL is specified, IO calls won't return until ALL
557 the data has been read or written (or until an error occurs), blocking if
558 necessary, and issuing several low level calls if necessary. This is the
559 same as having a loop which makes as many blocking low-level calls to
560 @b recv() or @b send() as needed so as to transfer all the data. Note
561 that @e blocking here refers to when the function returns, not
562 to whether the GUI blocks during this time.
563
564 The @b wxSOCKET_BLOCK flag controls whether the GUI blocks during
565 IO operations. If this flag is specified, the socket will not yield
566 during IO calls, so the GUI will remain blocked until the operation
567 completes. If it is not used, then the application must take extra
568 care to avoid unwanted reentrance.
569
570 The @b wxSOCKET_REUSEADDR flag controls the use of the @b SO_REUSEADDR standard
571 @b setsockopt() flag. This flag allows the socket to bind to a port that is
572 already in use. This is mostly used on UNIX-based systems to allow rapid starting
573 and stopping of a server, otherwise you may have to wait several minutes for the
574 port to become available.
575
576 @b wxSOCKET_REUSEADDR can also be used with socket clients to (re)bind to a
577 particular local port for an outgoing connection.
578 This option can have surprising platform dependent behavior, so check the
579 documentation for your platform's implementation of setsockopt().
580
581 Note that on BSD-based systems(e.g. Mac OS X), use of
582 @b wxSOCKET_REUSEADDR implies @b SO_REUSEPORT in addition to
583 @b SO_REUSEADDR to be consistent with Windows.
584
585 The @b wxSOCKET_BROADCAST flag controls the use of the @b SO_BROADCAST standard
586 @b setsockopt() flag. This flag allows the socket to use the broadcast address,
587 and is generally used in conjunction with @b wxSOCKET_NOBIND and
588 wxIPaddress::BroadcastAddress().
589
590 So:
591 - @b wxSOCKET_NONE will try to read at least SOME data, no matter how much.
592 - @b wxSOCKET_NOWAIT will always return immediately, even if it cannot
593 read or write ANY data.
594 - @b wxSOCKET_WAITALL will only return when it has read or written ALL
595 the data.
596 - @b wxSOCKET_BLOCK has nothing to do with the previous flags and
597 it controls whether the GUI blocks.
598 - @b wxSOCKET_REUSEADDR controls special platform-specific behavior for
599 reusing local addresses/ports.
