+ as necessary.

+ Connect() or accepted with Accept(). After that, new events will be generated
+ only after an output operation fails with @b wxSOCKET_WOULDBLOCK and buffer space
+ becomes available again. This means that the application should assume that it can
+ write data to the socket until an @b wxSOCKET_WOULDBLOCK error occurs; after this,
+ whenever the socket becomes writable again the application will be notified with
+ another @b wxSOCKET_OUTPUT event.
+
+ The @b wxSOCKET_CONNECTION event is issued when a delayed connection request completes
+ successfully (client) or when a new connection arrives at the incoming queue (server).
+
+ The @b wxSOCKET_LOST event is issued when a close indication is received for the socket.
+ This means that the connection broke down or that it was closed by the peer. Also, this
+ event will be issued if a connection request fails.

+
+ 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 @b recv() or @b 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 @b recv() or @b 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
+ @b recv() or @b 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 @b SO_REUSEADDR standard
+ @b 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.
+
+ @b 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
+ @b wxSOCKET_REUSEADDR implies @b SO_REUSEPORT in addition to
+ @b SO_REUSEADDR to be consistent with Windows.
+
+ The @b wxSOCKET_BROADCAST flag controls the use of the @b SO_BROADCAST standard
+ @b 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.

The @a flags parameter may be a combination of flags ORed together.
- The following flags can be used:
+ Notice that not all combinations of flags affecting the IO calls
+ (Read() and Write()) make sense, e.g. @b wxSOCKET_NOWAIT can't be
+ combined with @b wxSOCKET_WAITALL nor with @b wxSOCKET_BLOCK.
- @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.
+ The following flags can be used:
+ @beginFlagTable
+ @flag{wxSOCKET_NONE}
+ Default mode: the socket will read some data in the IO calls and
+ will process events to avoid blocking UI while waiting for the data
+ to become available.
+ @flag{wxSOCKET_NOWAIT}
+ Don't wait for the socket to become ready in IO calls, read as much
+ data as is available -- potentially 0 bytes -- and return
+ immediately.
+ @flag{wxSOCKET_WAITALL}
+ Don't return before the entire amount of data specified in IO calls
+ is read or written unless an error occurs. If this flag is not
+ specified, the IO calls return as soon as any amount of data, even
+ less than the total number of bytes, is processed.
+ @flag{wxSOCKET_BLOCK}
+ Don't process the UI events while waiting for the socket to become
+ ready. This means that UI will be unresponsive during socket IO.
+ @flag{wxSOCKET_REUSEADDR}
+ Allows the use of an in-use port (wxServerSocket only).
+ @flag{wxSOCKET_BROADCAST}
+ Switches the socket to broadcast mode.
+ @flag{wxSOCKET_NOBIND}
+ Stops the socket from being bound to a specific adapter (normally
+ used in conjunction with @b wxSOCKET_BROADCAST).
