- Work cat.: 95-35247: Quinn, B. Windows Sockets network programming, c1996:p. iii (This book describes the Windows Sockets application programming interface (API), commonly known as "WinSock")
Wikipedia description:
In computing, the Windows Sockets API (WSA), later shortened to Winsock, is an application programming interface (API) that defines how Windows network application software should access network services, especially TCP/IP. It defines a standard interface between a Windows TCP/IP client application (such as an FTP client or a web browser) and the underlying TCP/IP protocol stack. The nomenclature is based on the Berkeley sockets API used in BSD for communications between programs.
