 519     wxSocket Event Flags.
 520
 521     A brief note on how to use these events:
 522
 523     The @b wxSOCKET_INPUT event will be issued whenever there is data available
 524     for reading. This will be the case if the input queue was empty and new data
 525     arrives, or if the application has read some data yet there is still more data
 526     available. This means that the application does not need to read all available
 527     data in response to a @b wxSOCKET_INPUT event, as more events will be produced
 528     as necessary.
 529
 530     The @b wxSOCKET_OUTPUT event is issued when a socket is first connected with
 531     Connect() or accepted with Accept(). After that, new events will be generated
 532     only after an output operation fails with @b wxSOCKET_WOULDBLOCK and buffer space
 533     becomes available again. This means that the application should assume that it can
 534     write data to the socket until an @b wxSOCKET_WOULDBLOCK error occurs; after this,
 535     whenever the socket becomes writable again the application will be notified with
 536     another @b wxSOCKET_OUTPUT event.
 537
 538     The @b wxSOCKET_CONNECTION event is issued when a delayed connection request completes
 539     successfully (client) or when a new connection arrives at the incoming queue (server).
 540
 541     The @b wxSOCKET_LOST event is issued when a close indication is received for the socket.
 542     This means that the connection broke down or that it was closed by the peer. Also, this
 543     event will be issued if a connection request fails.
 544 */

 557
 558     wxSocket Flags.
 559
 560     A brief overview on how to use these flags follows.
 561
 562     If no flag is specified (this is the same as @b wxSOCKET_NONE),
 563     IO calls will return after some data has been read or written, even
 564     when the transfer might not be complete. This is the same as issuing
 565     exactly one blocking low-level call to @b recv() or @b send(). Note
 566     that @e blocking here refers to when the function returns, not
 567     to whether the GUI blocks during this time.
 568
 569     If @b wxSOCKET_NOWAIT is specified, IO calls will return immediately.
 570     Read operations will retrieve only available data. Write operations will
 571     write as much data as possible, depending on how much space is available
 572     in the output buffer. This is the same as issuing exactly one nonblocking
 573     low-level call to @b recv() or @b send(). Note that @e nonblocking here
 574     refers to when the function returns, not to whether the GUI blocks during
 575     this time.
 576
 577     If @b wxSOCKET_WAITALL is specified, IO calls won't return until ALL
 578     the data has been read or written (or until an error occurs), blocking if
 579     necessary, and issuing several low level calls if necessary. This is the
 580     same as having a loop which makes as many blocking low-level calls to
 581     @b recv() or @b send() as needed so as to transfer all the data. Note
 582     that @e blocking here refers to when the function returns, not
 583     to whether the GUI blocks during this time.
 584
 585     The @b wxSOCKET_BLOCK flag controls whether the GUI blocks during
 586     IO operations. If this flag is specified, the socket will not yield
 587     during IO calls, so the GUI will remain blocked until the operation
 588     completes. If it is not used, then the application must take extra
 589     care to avoid unwanted reentrance.
 590
 591     The @b wxSOCKET_REUSEADDR flag controls the use of the @b SO_REUSEADDR standard
 592     @b setsockopt() flag. This flag allows the socket to bind to a port that is
 593     already in use. This is mostly used on UNIX-based systems to allow rapid starting
 594     and stopping of a server, otherwise you may have to wait several minutes for the
 595     port to become available.
 596
 597     @b wxSOCKET_REUSEADDR can also be used with socket clients to (re)bind to a
 598     particular local port for an outgoing connection.
 599     This option can have surprising platform dependent behaviour, so check the
 600     documentation for your platform's implementation of setsockopt().
 601
 602     Note that on BSD-based systems(e.g. Mac OS X), use of
 603     @b wxSOCKET_REUSEADDR implies @b SO_REUSEPORT in addition to
 604     @b SO_REUSEADDR to be consistent with Windows.
 605
 606     The @b wxSOCKET_BROADCAST flag controls the use of the @b SO_BROADCAST standard
 607     @b setsockopt() flag. This flag allows the socket to use the broadcast address,
 608     and is generally used in conjunction with @b wxSOCKET_NOBIND and
 609     wxIPaddress::BroadcastAddress().
 610
 611     So:
 612     - @b wxSOCKET_NONE will try to read at least SOME data, no matter how much.
 613     - @b wxSOCKET_NOWAIT will always return immediately, even if it cannot
 614       read or write ANY data.
 615     - @b wxSOCKET_WAITALL will only return when it has read or written ALL
 616       the data.
 617     - @b wxSOCKET_BLOCK has nothing to do with the previous flags and
 618       it controls whether the GUI blocks.
 619     - @b wxSOCKET_REUSEADDR controls special platform-specific behaviour for
 620       reusing local addresses/ports.

 999             to become available.
1000         @flag{wxSOCKET_NOWAIT}
1001             Don't wait for the socket to become ready in IO calls, read as much

1006             is read or written unless an error occurs. If this flag is not
1007             specified, the IO calls return as soon as any amount of data, even

1010             Don't process the UI events while waiting for the socket to become
