Socket programming with c.

[mattias1975]

I have made a small program:

#include <winsock2.h>
#include <wininet.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h>
#include <iostream.h>

void main(){
int sock = socket (PF_INET, SOCK_RAW, IPPROTO_TCP);
cout << sock;
}

But the socket function returns the value -1 which i knowis a error code. I think it should return 1 if it is ok.
Why does not this work? Why do i get the error code -1.
