Winsock Programmer's FAQ
Section 7: Articles: Winsock's Compatibility With BSD Sockets

#include Differences (Added 2000.06.12)

Under BSD sockets, there are quite a few different header files you need to include, depending on what sockets calls you use. A typical BSD sockets program has a block of #includes near the top like this:

#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <netinet/in.h>
#include <arpa/inet.h>
#include <netdb.h>

For Winsock, you don't need any of these. Instead, you just need to include winsock.h. (Or, if you need Winsock 2-specific functionality, winsock2.h.)
