Windows / Win32

Win32 Code Listings

The Win32 documentation groups its failure codes into reference articles, one per subsystem: the sockets errors in one, the WinINet ones in another, the COM ones spread across ten. Each is listed below with the header it belongs to, where it names one, and every constant it defines.

These listings are the only source here for names that never reached a header dump, and they carry a sentence of prose for names that did.
