Manual page for GETSOCKNAME(2)

getsockname - get socket name

SYNOPSIS




getsockname(s, name, namelen)
int s;
struct sockaddr *name;
int *namelen;

DESCRIPTION

Getsockname
returns the current 
name
for the specified socket.  The
namelen
parameter should be initialized to indicate
the amount of space pointed to by
name. 
On return it contains the actual size of the name
returned (in bytes). 

DIAGNOSTICS

A 0 is returned if the call succeeds, -1 if it fails. 

ERRORS

The call succeeds unless:



[EBADF]


The argument s is not a valid descriptor. 

[ENOTSOCK]


The argument s is a file, not a socket. 

[ENOBUFS]


Insufficient resources were available in the system
to perform the operation. 

[EFAULT]


The 
name
parameter points to memory not in a valid part of the
process address space. 



SEE ALSO

bind(2), socket(2)

BUGS

Names bound to sockets in the UNIX domain are inaccessible;
getsockname
returns a zero length name.
