In + particular, you will be able to use ioctl and + close instead of ioctlsocket and closesocket, + and test errno instead of WSAGetLastError (). + On the other hand, you have to audit your code to + remove usage of these Winsock-specific functions. + + This change does not remove the need to call + the gl_sockets_startup function from the sockets + gnulib module.
