       int getsockname(int s, struct sockaddr *name, socklen_t *namelen);

DESCRIPTION

       getsockname() returns the current name for 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 in bytes of the name returned.

RETURN VALUES

       If successful, getsockname() returns  0; otherwise it returns  -1 and sets  errno to indicate the error.
