GETSOCKNAME(2)                                                  GETSOCKNAME(2)



NAME
       getsockname - get socket name

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

DESCRIPTION
       _G_e_t_s_o_c_k_n_a_m_e  returns  the  current  _n_a_m_e for the specified socket.  The
       _n_a_m_e_l_e_n parameter should be initialized to indicate the amount of space
       pointed  to by _n_a_m_e.  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  _n_a_m_e 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; _g_e_t_s_o_c_k_n_a_m_e
       returns a zero length name.
