If by sockets you are referring to networking sockets, no special
libraries are required. Socket API is included in the standard C library.
The OP will also find that Winsock is very similar to the standard
socket library by virtue of the fact that M$ based Winsock on BSD
sockets.
I think you will find that winsock was developed elsehwere

Pretty much.
For many years Microsoft stubbornly pretended that TCP/IP
didn't exist[1] and tried to force all their customers to stick
with their proprietary SMB NetBIOS/NetBEUI stuff. After what
was probably a large percentage of MS customers had added on
third-party TCP/IP libraries from Sun, Wollongong, and others
Microsoft finally woke up to reality and "adopted" TCP/IP
networking and the Winsock API that had been initially defined
by others.
[1] Ignoring reality is something that Microsoft has always
been pretty good at.
