NAME
getsockname - get socket name
LIBRARY
Standard C library (libc, -lc)
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/socket.h>int getsockname(int \nsockfd\n, struct sockaddr *restrict \naddr\n,\n
\n socklen_t *restrict \naddrlen\n);DESCRIPTION
getsockname() returns the current address to which the socket sockfd is bound, in the buffer pointed to by addr. The addrlen argument should be initialized to indicate the amount of space (in bytes) pointed to by addr. On return it contains the actual size of the socket address.
The returned address is truncated if the buffer provided is too small; in this case, addrlen will return a value greater than was supplied to the call.
RETURN VALUE
On success, zero is returned. On error, -1 is returned, and errno is set to indicate the error.
ERRORS
