I have a few includes that are giving me some issues. I started looking around for these files, but found that unistd.h is a unix file. Is this course able to be done in Windows?

```auto
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <arpa/inet.h>
#include <netdb.h>

```

The tests run on linux, you can use wsl on windows and it works fine.

You could make your code work in both windows and linux with preprocessor defines which specify your OS, but that is tedious though.
