Herança de socket em diferentes plataformas do Windows

   // This is a Winsock server that is listening on a port.

   // When a client connects, the server spawns a child process and
   // passes the socket handle to the child.
   // The child can use this socket handle to interact with the
   // client and the parent is free to go back to waiting for
   // other clients to connect.
