<para>
If a <classname>Socket</classname> instance is passed to this function, the last error which
occurred on this particular socket is returned. If <parameter>socket</parameter> is
&null;, the error code of the last failed socket function is returned.
The latter is particularly helpful for functions like
<function>socket_create</function> which don't return a socket on
failure and <function>socket_select</function> which can fail for reasons
not directly tied to a particular socket. The error code is suitable to
be fed to <function>socket_strerror</function> which returns a string
describing the given error code.
</para>
<para>
If no error had occurred, or the error had been cleared with
<function>socket_clear_error</function>, the function returns <literal>0</literal>.
