Yes.

MSDN:

The select function returns the total number of socket handles that are ready and contained in the fd_set structures, zero if the
time limit expired, or SOCKET_ERROR if an error occurred. If the return value is SOCKET_ERROR, WSAGetLastError can be used to
retrieve a specific error code.
