pthread and socket porting from Linux to Windows

Excuse me for my ignorance

If i wanna port some pthread and socket C source code from Linux to Windows which are the most straight forward options?
I still have to study that but:
(1) Windows has a very different implementation of "socketing"?
(2) Windows has a very different implementation of threads?
(3) if the answer to (1) or (2) is "yes" or "quite": isn't there a probably less efficient but nice secundary version of socketing and/or threading for windows, more POSIX style? I think I found once an implementation of pthreads for windows: is it quite good?

thank you

I beleive Windows sockets are pretty close to the BSD sockets used in Linux.

Depending on what pthread features you need, you may be able to wrap the Windows/pthread implementations in fairly thinly for the use in your Windows app. But there may be some more work needed to translate some of the more complex parts of pthreads.

There exists a pthreads library for Windows I believe, floating about the Internet somewhere, so you might be ok not changing your threading implementation.
