"in" means "pass argument by value," and is the default for arguments.

Also, I believe that PASCAL is the same as the Windows cc, so my guess
at the conversion would be:

For D 1.x:

extern(Windows) int mycnt ( SOCKET s, sockaddr* name, int namelen );

For D 2.x:

extern(Windows) int mycnt ( SOCKET s, const sockaddr* name, int namelen );

Note that you'd have to supply definitions of SOCKET and sockaddr.
