GETPEERNAME(2) Linux Programmer's Manual GETPEERNAME(2)
NAME
getpeername - get name of connected peer
SYNOPSIS
int getpeername(int s, struct sockaddr *name, int *name-
len);
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). The name is truncated if the buffer provided
is too small.
RETURN VALUE
On success, zero is returned. On error, -1 is returned,
and errno is set appropriately.
ERRORS
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 sys-
tem to perform the operation.
EFAULT The name parameter points to memory not in a valid
part of the process address space.
CONFORMING TO
