windows sockets
winsock a specification for
microsoft windows network software, describing how
applications can access network services, especially tcp/ip.
winsock is intended to provide a single api to which
application developers should program and to which multiple
network software vendors should conform. for any particular
version of microsoft windows, it defines a binary interface
abi such that an application written to the windows
sockets api can work with a conformant protocol
implementation from any network software vendor.
winsock was conceived at fall interop '91 during a birds of a
feather session.
windows sockets is supported by microsoft windows, windows
for workgroups, win32s, windows 95 and windows nt. it
will support protocols other than tcp/ip. under windows
nt, microsoft will provide windows sockets support over
tcp/ip and ipx/spx. dec will be implementing
decnet. windows nt will include mechanisms for multiple
protocol support in windows sockets, both 32-bit and 16 bit.
mark towfiq said, "the next rev. of winsock will not be until
toward the end of 1993. we need 1.1 of the api to become
firmly settled and implemented first."
