This will be the case if the input queue was +empty and new data arrives, or if the application has read some data +yet there is still more data available. This means that the application +does not need to read all available data in response to a +{\bf wxSOCKET\_INPUT} event, as more events will be produced as +necessary. + +The {\bf wxSOCKET\_OUTPUT} event is issued when a socket is first +connected with \helpref{Connect}{wxsocketclientconnect} or accepted +with \helpref{Accept}{wxsocketserveraccept}. After that, new +events will be generated only after an output operation fails +with {\bf 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 {\bf wxSOCKET\_WOULDBLOCK} +error occurs; after this, whenever the socket becomes writable +again the application will be notified with another +{\bf wxSOCKET\_OUTPUT} event. + +The {\bf 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 {\bf 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.
