GETSOCKNAME(2)                                                  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).

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.
