-You can setup a callback function to be called when an event occurs.
-The function will be called only for those events for which notification
-has been enabled with \helpref{Notify}{wxsocketbasenotify} and
-\helpref{SetNotify}{wxsocketbasesetnotify}. The prototype of the
-callback must be as follows:
-
-\begin{verbatim}
-void SocketCallback(wxSocketBase& sock, wxSocketNotify evt, char *cdata);
-\end{verbatim}
-
-The first parameter is a reference to the socket object in which the
-event occurred. The second parameter tells you which event occurred.
-(See \helpref{wxSocket events}{wxsocketbase}). The third parameter
-is the user data you specified using \helpref{CallbackData}{wxsocketbasecallbackdata}.
-
-\wxheading{Return value}
-
-A pointer to the previous callback.

-\wxheading{Remark/Warning}

-Note that callbacks are now deprecated and unsupported, and they remain
-for backwards compatibility only. Use events instead.

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.
-This option can have suprising platform dependent behavior, check the documentation for
-your platforms implementation of setsockopt().
+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.
So:
{\bf wxSOCKET\_BLOCK} has nothing to do with the previous flags and
it controls whether the GUI blocks.
-{\bf wxSOCKET\_REUSEADDR} controls special platform-specific behavior for wxServerSocket.
+{\bf wxSOCKET\_REUSEADDR} controls special platform-specific behavior for
