getsockname(2N)                                   getsockname(2N)



NAME
     getsockname - gets a socket name

SYNOPSIS
     int 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).

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

     The getsockname command 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.
