getsockname(2N)                                   getsockname(2N)



     NAME
          getsockname - get socket name

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

          cc ... -lnet

     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.

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

            cc -o prog prog.c -lnet
