calling multiple WSAStartup()

Da-Nuka · 03-16-2005, 09:08 AM

Hi.
If i do something like this in my program:

Code:

 WSAStartup(..);
 WSAStartup(..);
 WSAStartup(..);
 WSAStartup(..);

Will this produce any errors, or bugs in my program? Or is it ok to call it multiple times, if i just wanna be 100% sure that winsock havnet been terminated at a speccial point in my program..

Each call to WSAStartup() increments an counter. So if you make multiple calls, make sure you keep count and do the same to WSACleanup().
