Can't you make a little test program and check? Or possibly the socket-related
functions have this documented...

I don't know. I found this quote[*], but I can't tell how accurate it is:

"From page 23 of the Winsock 2.2.2 API manual:" ...

"Instead, error codes are accessed by using the WSAGetLastError() function
described in section 102. This function is implemented in WinSock 2 as an
alias for the Win32 function GetLastError()"
