WSAStartup returns zero if successful. Otherwise, it returns one of the error codes listed below. Note that the normal mechanism whereby the application calls WSAGetLastError to determine the error code cannot be used, since the Windows Sockets DLL may not have established the client data area where the "last error" information is stored. |
