Hi all,

I'm just playing with NSStream for the first time, and all the code and
docs I've seen have a switch in the implementation of
stream:handleEvent:, like:

 switch(eventCode) {
   case NSStreamEventHasBytesAvailable:
   ...

ex:

<http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/cocoa/Conceptual/
Streams/Articles/ReadingInputStreams.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/
20002273-1001882>

Yet the docs also say this:

Stream Event Constants
One or more of these constants may be sent to the delegate as a bit
field in the second parameter of stream:handleEvent:.

typedef enum {
   NSStreamEventNone = 0,
   NSStreamEventOpenCompleted = 1 << 0,
   NSStreamEventHasBytesAvailable = 1 << 1,
   NSStreamEventHasSpaceAvailable = 1 << 2,
   NSStreamEventErrorOccurred = 1 << 3,
   NSStreamEventEndEncountered = 1 << 4
};

If these things can be bitwised ORed, why is all the code out there
'switch'ing?  I'm confused.

Thanks,
