How about winsock.dll.. sort of (from Visual studio 97's header files..)
from \devstudio\vc\include:
/* Winsock2.h -- definitions to be used with the WinSock 2 DLL and
* WinSock 2 applications.
*
* This header file corresponds to version 2.2.x of the WinSock API
* specification.
*
* This file includes parts which are Copyright (c) 1982-1986 Regents
* of the University of California. All rights reserved. The
* Berkeley Software License Agreement specifies the terms and
* conditions for redistribution.
*/
Some other snippets from the file:
/*
* Structures returned by network data base library, taken from the
* BSD file netdb.h. All addresses are supplied in host order, and
* returned in network order (suitable for use in system calls).
*/
struct hostent {
char FAR * h_name; /* official name of host */
char FAR * FAR * h_aliases; /* alias list */
short h_addrtype; /* host address type */
short h_length; /* length of address */
char FAR * FAR * h_addr_list; /* list of addresses */
#define h_addr h_addr_list[0] /* address, for backward compat */
};
/*
* Structures returned by network data base library, taken from the
* BSD file netdb.h. All addresses are supplied in host order, and
* returned in network order (suitable for use in system calls).
*/
struct hostent {
char FAR * h_name; /* official name of host */
char FAR * FAR * h_aliases; /* alias list */
short h_addrtype; /* host address type */
short h_length; /* length of address */
char FAR * FAR * h_addr_list; /* list of addresses */
#define h_addr h_addr_list[0] /* address, for backward compat */
};
/*
* Structures returned by network data base library, taken from the
* BSD file netdb.h. All addresses are supplied in host order, and
* returned in network order (suitable for use in system calls).
*/
struct hostent {
char FAR * h_name; /* official name of host */
char FAR * FAR * h_aliases; /* alias list */
short h_addrtype; /* host address type */
short h_length; /* length of address */
char FAR * FAR * h_addr_list; /* list of addresses */
#define h_addr h_addr_list[0] /* address, for backward compat */
};
. . . and so on.
This is hardly conclusive though.. Without OS source code (or disassembly,
as someone else suggested), it's hard to really pin it down. I'd be
really amazed if Microsoft left easy to find comments in
binaries/libraries documenting code mooching :)
in digging through wsock32.dll and winsock.dll (from win2k) there are
references to "BSD Socket API for Windows", but as Jordan said, that
doesn't mean they used BSD code..
Is any of this any help at all ?
