getsockname(3SOCKET)					     Sockets Library Functions					      getsockname(3SOCKET)

NAME

       getsockname - get socket name

SYNOPSIS

       cc [ flag ... ] file ... -lsocket  -lnsl  [ library ... ]
       #include <sys/types.h>
       #include <sys/socket.h>

       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.

ERRORS

       The call succeeds unless:

       EBADF	   The argument s is not a valid file descriptor.

       ENOMEM	   There was insufficient memory available for the operation to complete.

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

       ENOTSOCK    The argument s is not a socket.

NAME

       getsockname - get the socket name

SYNOPSIS

       cc [ flag ... ] file ... -lxnet [ library ... ]
       #include <sys/socket.h>

       int getsockname(int socket, struct sockaddr *restrict address,
	    socklen_t *restrict address_len);

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 address_len 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 VALUES

       Upon successful completion, 0 is returned, the address argument points to the address of the socket, and the address_len 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.

       EFAULT	     The  address or  address_len parameter can not be accessed or written.

       ENOTSOCK      The socket argument does not refer to a socket.

       EOPNOTSUPP    The operation is not supported for this socket's protocol.

       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.
