.TH GETSOCKNAME 2 1993-07-24 "BSD Man Page" "Linux Programmer's Manual"
.SH NAME
getsockname \- get socket name
.SH SYNOPSIS
.nf
.B #include <sys/socket.h>
.sp
.BI "int getsockname(int " s ", struct sockaddr *" name ", socklen_t *" namelen );
.fi
.SH DESCRIPTION
.BR getsockname ()
returns the current
.I name
for the specified socket.
The
.I namelen
parameter should be initialized to indicate
the amount of space pointed to by
.IR name .
On return it contains the actual size of the name
returned (in bytes).
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
On success, zero is returned.
On error, \-1 is returned, and
.I errno
is set appropriately.
.SH ERRORS
.TP
.B EBADF
The argument
.I s
is not a valid descriptor.
.TP
.B EFAULT
The
.I name
parameter points to memory not in a valid part of the
process address space.
.TP
.B EINVAL
.I namelen
is invalid (e.g., is negative).
.TP
.B ENOBUFS
Insufficient resources were available in the system
to perform the operation.
.TP
.B ENOTSOCK
The argument
.I s
is a file, not a socket.
.SH "CONFORMING TO"
SVr4, 4.4BSD (the
.BR getsockname ()
function call appeared in 4.2BSD), POSIX.1-2001.
.\" SVr4 documents additional ENOMEM
.\" and ENOSR error codes.
.SH NOTE
The third argument of
.BR getsockname ()
is in reality an `int *' (and this is what 4.x BSD and libc4 and libc5 have).
Some POSIX confusion resulted in the present socklen_t, also used by glibc.
