Thread: How to make winsock.h for windows socket programming?

Hi everybody,

I am a C# ASP.NET programmer. I learned C for hobby programming. Google is my main resource. I am interested in network programming. As you know, in windows it is socket programming. I got few good tutorials from Google. But it required a socket.h header file. I am using turbo C and windows XP operating system. I couldn’t find the socket.h header file in my INCLUDE directory. Again I goggled. I found that in windows, it is winsock.h and this can make from the winsock.dll in the system32 folder using the MAKELIB utility. But I couldn’t find the MAKELIB utility anywhere in the internet. Is there any utility to convert Microsoft dlls to C header files? Am I in the correct way? Please guide me.

Thanks and regards,
Thomas
