How do I retrieve an error string from WSAGetLastError()?

Viewed 28156

I'm porting some sockets code from Linux to Windows.

In Linux, I could use strerror() to convert an errno code into a human-readable string.

MSDN documentation shows equivalent strings for each error code returned from WSAGetLastError(), but I don't see anything about how to retrieve those strings. Will strerror() work here too?

How can I retrieve human-readable error strings from Winsock?
