    @anchor wxSocketEventFlags

    wxSocket Event Flags.

    A brief note on how to use these events:

    The @b wxSOCKET_INPUT event will be issued whenever there is data available
    for reading. 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 @b wxSOCKET_INPUT event, as more events will be produced
    as necessary.

    The @b wxSOCKET_OUTPUT event is issued when a socket is first connected with
    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.
*/
enum wxSocketEventFlags
{
    wxSOCKET_INPUT,         ///< There is data available for reading.
    wxSOCKET_OUTPUT,        ///< The socket is ready to be written to.
    wxSOCKET_CONNECTION,    ///< Incoming connection request (server), or
                            ///< successful connection establishment (client).
    wxSOCKET_LOST           ///< The connection has been closed.
};


/**
    @anchor wxSocketFlags

    wxSocket Flags.

    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.
