getsockname(3N-xs)            (X/OPEN SOCKETS)           getsockname(3N-xs)

NAME
     getsockname - get the socket name

SYNOPSIS
     cc [flag ...] file ... -lxnet [library ...]

     #include <sys/socket.h>

     int getsockname(int socket, struct sockaddr *address,
                     sizet *addresslen);

DESCRIPTION
     The getsockname function retrieves the locally-bound name of the
     specified socket, stores this address in the sockaddr structure
     pointed to by the address argument, and stores the length of this
     address in the object pointed to by the addresslen argument.

     If the actual length of the address is greater than the length of the
     supplied sockaddr structure, the stored address will be truncated.

     If the socket has not been bound to a local name, the value stored in
     the object pointed to by address is unspecified.

RETURN VALUE
     Upon successful completion, 0 is returned, the address argument points
     to the address of the socket, and the addresslen argument points to
     the length of the address. Otherwise, -1 is returned and errno is set
     to indicate the error.

ERRORS
     The getsockname function will fail:

     EBADF           The socket argument is not a valid file descriptor.

     ENOTSOCK        The socket argument does not refer to a socket.

     EOPNOTSUPP      The operation is not supported for this socket's pro-
                     tocol.

     The getsockname function may fail if:

     EINVAL          The socket has been shut down.

     ENOBUFS         Insufficient resources were available in the system to
                     complete the call.

     ENOSR           There were insufficient STREAMS resources available
                     for the operation to complete.
