Is it anyway we can use C Socket programming (In unix) in Windows?
 
I want to know, Is it possible to use C Socket Programming style in Unix (all the functions,headers etc).
If so how can i do that? And Am i need the library too?

Thanks.

Your question is not clear to me. Do you want to convert Windows programs to Unix or the other way around?

As far as I know they are very similar. You need an additional function under Windows that you don't need in Unix; this function is usually in the beginning of the program.
In Unix (at least in Linux) the libraries are included when you install the compiler.

Look for a guide called "Beej's guide to network programming". Though it is Unix-specific, it does discuss some of the differences between Windows sockets and standard sockets.
