     NAME
          getpeername - get name of connected peer

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

          cc ... -lnet

     DESCRIPTION
          getpeername returns the name of the peer connected to socket
          s.  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.

          [ENOTCONN]     The socket is not connected.

          [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.

     LINKING
          This library is accessed by specifying -lnet as the last
          argument to the compile line, e.g.:

            cc -o prog prog.c -lnet
