Portability problems fixed by Gnulib:

|
|
On Windows platforms (excluding Cygwin), the descriptors returned by
|
|
the @code{socket} function can not 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.

On Windows platforms (excluding Cygwin), error codes for @code{socket}
|

are not placed in @code{errno}, and @code{WSAGetLastError} must be
|

used instead.
