wxSocketBase is the base class for all socket-related objects, and it
defines all basic IO functionality.
+Note: (Workaround for implementation limitation for wxWidgets up to 2.5.x)
+If you want to use sockets or derived classes such as wxFTP in a secondary thread,
+call wxSocketBase::Initialize() (undocumented) from the main thread before creating
+any sockets - in wxApp::OnInit for example.
+See http://wiki.wxwidgets.org/wiki.pl?WxSocket or
+http://www.litwindow.com/knowhow/knowhow.html for more details.

-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}.
-

A brief overview on how to use these flags follows.
completes. If it is not used, then the application must take extra
care to avoid unwanted reentrance.
+The {\bf 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.
+
So:
{\bf wxSOCKET\_NONE} will try to read at least SOME data, no matter how much.
{\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
+reusing local addresses/ports.

+\func{bool}{SetLocal}{\param{wxIPV4address\&}{ local}}

+This function allows you to set the local address and port,

+a local port is set for a \helpref{wxSocketClient}{wxsocketclient},
+{\bf bind} will be called before {\bf connect}.
