How does one convert from the numeric value returned by SocketError to the name of the error (specifically, to e.g. EsockEINVAL rather than EsysEINVAL, i.e. to be in line with the definition of functions like fpbind)?

I notice that the example for fpconnect at
http://lazarus-ccr.sourceforge.net/docs/rtl/sockets/fpconnect.html actually describes a variant of Connect that's not documented for fpconnect.

use the errors unit. (specific for unix)

It has a functiun strerror()

But aren't those EsysEINVAL rather than EsockEINVAL etc.?

They are the same values. Sockets existed before the unix unit. All these values are simply the POSIX error codes. (some special cases notwithstanding)
