I know that it is recommended to use WSAAccept()
instead of accept()
when creating an IOCP application. But I am not sure if WSASocket()
belongs to the Overlapped I/O functions, or is it just another Winsock function?
I always thought that you could answer this question by looking at the MSDN docs for socket()
and WSASocket()
and, specifically that you couldn't create a socket that can be used with overlapped I/O (and IOCPs) using socket()
as only WSASocket()
allows you to specify the WSA_FLAG_OVERLAPPED
flag when you create the socket. But that's incorrect as socket()
creates sockets that have WSA_FLAG_OVERLAPPED
set.
However, in general the berkeley/POSIX sockets functions in Windows are just there as a convenience to people who want to program to that API. There's very little reason to use them and the native Windows APIs should be preferred.
