GetLastError API for socket/bind failure in VxWorks 5.4
Can anyone tell what is the system API for VxWorks which is used to find GetLastError() for socket/bind failure.
I need to use it in some VxWorks application and need to call GetLastError but I'm not sure about the correct API.
Thanks in advance

socketcall
SOCKETCALL(2) Linux Programmer's Manual SOCKETCALL(2)
NAME
socketcall - socket system calls
SYNOPSIS
#include <linux/net.h>
int socketcall(int call, unsigned long *args);
DESCRIPTION
socketcall() is a common kernel entry point for the socket system calls. call determines which socket function to invoke. args points to
a block containing the actual arguments, which are passed through to the appropriate call.
User programs should call the appropriate functions by their usual names. Only standard library implementors and kernel hackers need to
know about socketcall().

SYS_SOCKET socket(2)
SYS_BIND bind(2)
SYS_CONNECT connect(2)
SYS_LISTEN listen(2)
SYS_ACCEPT accept(2)
SYS_GETSOCKNAME getsockname(2)
SYS_GETPEERNAME getpeername(2)
SYS_SOCKETPAIR socketpair(2)
SYS_SEND send(2)
SYS_RECV recv(2)
SYS_SENDTO sendto(2)
SYS_RECVFROM recvfrom(2)
SYS_SHUTDOWN shutdown(2)

SYS_RECVMSG recvmsg(2)

CONFORMING TO
This call is specific to Linux, and should not be used in programs intended to be portable.
NOTES
On a some architectures--for example, x86-64 and ARM--there is no socketcall() system call; instead socket(2), accept(2), bind(2), and so
on really are implemented as separate system calls.
On x86-32, socketcall() was historically the only entry point for the sockets API. However, starting in Linux 4.3, direct system calls are
provided on x86-32 for the sockets API. This facilitates the creation of seccomp(2) filters that filter sockets system calls (for new
user-space binaries that are compiled to use the new entry points) and also provides a (very) small performance improvement.
