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

It depends what your host OS is on which you are compiling the code.
