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.

This is the same as issuing exactly one nonblocking +low-level call to recv() or send(). Note that {\it nonblocking} here +refers to when the function returns, not to whether the GUI blocks during +this time. + +If {\bf 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 {\it blocking} here refers to when the function returns, not +to whether the GUI blocks during this time. + +The {\bf 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 {\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\_NOWAIT} will always return immediately, even if it cannot +read or write ANY data. + +{\bf wxSOCKET\_WAITALL} will only return when it has read or written ALL +the data. + +{\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. -\wxheading{Parameters} +% +% SetLocal +% +\membersection{wxSocketBase::SetLocal}\label{wxsocketbasesetlocal} -\docparam{buffer}{Buffer where to put data peeked.} -\docparam{nbytes}{Number of bytes.} +\func{bool}{SetLocal}{\param{wxIPV4address\&}{ local}} -\wxheading{Returns value} -Returns a reference to the current object. +This function allows you to set the local address and port, +useful when an application needs to reuse a particular port.
