NAME
     getpeername - gets the name of a connected peer

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

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).

STATUS MESSAGES AND VALUES
     A 0 is returned if the call succeeds, -1 if it fails.

     The getpeername fails if:

     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.
