     NAME
          getsockname - get socket name

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

     DESCRIPTION
          getsockname returns the current name for the specified sock-
          et.  The namelen parameter should be initialized to indicate
          the amount of space pointed to by name.  On return it con-
          tains the actual size of the name returned (in bytes).

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

     ERRORS
          getsockname fails if:

          [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.
