+    \class QSocketNotifier
+    \brief The QSocketNotifier class provides support for monitoring
+    activity on a file descriptor.
+
+    \ingroup network
+    \ingroup io
+
+    The QSocketNotifier makes it possible to integrate Qt's event
+    loop with other event loops based on file descriptors. For
+    example, the \l{CORBA Framework} uses it to process CORBA
+    events.  File descriptor action is detected in Qt's main event
+    loop (QCoreApplication::exec()).
+
+    \target write notifiers
+
+    Once you have opened a device using a low-level (usually
+    platform-specific) API, you can create a socket notifier to
+    monitor the file descriptor. The socket notifier is enabled by
+    default, i.e. it emits the activated() signal whenever a socket
+    event corresponding to its type occurs. Connect the activated()
+    signal to the slot you want to be called when an event
+    corresponding to your socket notifier's type occurs.
+
+    There are three types of socket notifiers: read, write, and
+    exception. The type is described by the \l Type enum, and must be
+    specified when constructing the socket notifier. After
+    construction it can be determined using the type() function. Note
+    that if you need to monitor both reads and writes for the same
+    file descriptor, you must create two socket notifiers. Note also
+    that it is not possible to install two socket notifiers of the
+    same type (\l Read, \l Write, \l Exception) on the same socket.
+
+    The setEnabled() function allows you to disable as well as enable
+    the socket notifier. It is generally advisable to explicitly
+    enable or disable the socket notifier, especially for write
+    notifiers. A disabled notifier ignores socket events (the same
+    effect as not creating the socket notifier). Use the isEnabled()
+    function to determine the notifier's current status.
+
+    Finally, you can use the socket() function to retrieve the
+    socket identifier.  Although the class is called QSocketNotifier,
+    it is normally used for other types of devices than sockets.
+    QTcpSocket and QUdpSocket provide notification through signals, so
+    there is normally no need to use a QSocketNotifier on them.
+
+    \section1 Notes for Windows Users
+
+    The socket passed to QSocketNotifier will become non-blocking, even if
+    it was created as a blocking socket.
+    The activated() signal is sometimes triggered by high general activity
+    on the host, even if there is nothing to read. A subsequent read from
+    the socket can then fail, the error indicating that there is no data
+    available (e.g., \c{WSAEWOULDBLOCK}). This is an operating system
+    limitation, and not a bug in QSocketNotifier.
+
+    To ensure that the socket notifier handles read notifications correctly,
+    follow these steps when you receive a notification:
+
+    \list 1
+    \o Disable the notifier.
+    \o Read data from the socket.
+    \o Re-enable the notifier if you are interested in more data (such as after
+       having written a new command to a remote server).
+    \endlist
+
+    To ensure that the socket notifier handles write notifications correctly,
+    follow these steps when you receive a notification:
+
+    \list 1
+    \o Disable the notifier.
+    \o Write as much data as you can (before \c EWOULDBLOCK is returned).
+    \o Re-enable notifier if you have more data to write.
+    \endlist
+
+    \bold{Further information:}
+    On Windows, Qt always disables the notifier after getting a notification,
+    and only re-enables it if more data is expected. For example, if data is
+    read from the socket and it can be used to read more, or if reading or
+    writing is not possible because the socket would block, in which case
+    it is necessary to wait before attempting to read or write again.
