GETSOCKNAME(2)                       BSD                        GETSOCKNAME(2)



NAME
     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).

ERRORS
     The call succeeds unless any of the following are true:

     [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)

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

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