| Gnulib module: socket |
| |
| Portability problems fixed by Gnulib: |
| @itemize |
| @item |
| On Windows platforms (excluding Cygwin), the descriptors returned by |
| the @code{socket} function cannot be used in calls to @code{read}, |
| @code{write}, and @code{close}; you have to use @code{recv}, @code{send}, |
| @code{closesocket} in these cases instead. |
| @item |
| On Windows platforms (excluding Cygwin), error codes from this function |
| are not placed in @code{errno}, and @code{WSAGetLastError} must be used |
| instead. |
