That would be wonderful, but I doubt POSIX-like socket API related fns like socket (PF_INET, SOCK_RAW, ...), setsockopt() and select() are portable enough in the world of WinAPI.

I guess @Cygwin or @Midipix would be a better choice for that.

I think this was already ported to Windows at some point in the past by Ray Satiro https://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/inetutils.htm

I'm not an experienced C programmer, but from what I researched WinSock and POSIX sockets work in a similar manner - mainly because Windows sockets were originally based on code from BSD:

Although these proprietary BSD derivatives were largely superseded by the UNIX System V Release 4 and OSF/1 systems in the 1990s (both of which incorporated BSD code and are the basis of other modern Unix systems), later BSD releases provided a basis for several open source development projects, e.g. FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, Darwin or PC-BSD, that are ongoing. These, in turn, have been incorporated in whole or in part in modern proprietary operating systems, e.g. the TCP/IP (IPv4 only) networking code in Microsoft Windows and most of the foundation of Apple's OS X and iOS.

I don't have any PR to submit, but would definitely be appreciative if traceroute were added to MSYS2 inetutils.
