I recall that Niel made sure hoogle doesn't search through non-portable libraries (a shame), but I thought Network.Socket could be used on Windows and yet Hoogle does not give any results for 'socket' or any other functions within Network.Socket.

I can't suggest why the network package isn't being indexed by Hoogle, but it does indeed work on Windows and is not, as erroneously stated by another respondent, POSIX-only.

If you say so, but.. Unix domain sockets? sendFd? I can't claim *none* of it works on windows, but those functions must at best be undefined on windows - right?
