GETSOCKNAME(2) Linux Programmer’s Manual GETSOCKNAME(2)
NAME
getsockname - get socket name
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/socket.h>
int getsockname(int s, struct sockaddr *name, socklen_t *namelen);
DESCRIPTION
Getsockname returns the current name for the specified socket. The namelen parame-
ter 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).
RETURN VALUE
On success, zero is returned. On error, -1 is returned, and errno is set appropri-
ately.
ERRORS
EBADF The argument s is not a valid descriptor.
ENOTSOCK
The argument s is a file, not a socket.
ENOBUFS
Insufficient resources were available in the system to perform the opera-
tion.
EFAULT The name parameter points to memory not in a valid part of the process
address space.
CONFORMING TO
SVr4, 4.4BSD (the getsockname function call appeared in 4.2BSD). SVr4 documents
additional ENOMEM and ENOSR error codes.
NOTE
The third argument of getsockname is in reality an ‘int *’ (and this is what BSD
4.* and libc4 and libc5 have). Some POSIX confusion resulted in the present
socklen_t. The draft standard has not been adopted yet, but glibc2 already follows
it and also has socklen_t. See also accept(2).
