GETSOCKNAME(2)

NAME

getsockname − get socket name

USAGE

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

DESCRIPTION

RETURN VALUE

A zero 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 that isn’t in a valid part of the process address space.
