GETSOCKNAME(3P) POSIX Programmer's Manual GETSOCKNAME(3P)
This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual. The Linux
implementation of this interface may differ (consult the
corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or
the interface may not be implemented on Linux.
getsockname — get the socket name
#include <sys/socket.h>
int getsockname(int socket, struct sockaddr *restrict address,
socklen_t *restrict address_len);
The getsockname() function shall retrieve the locally-bound name of
the specified socket, store this address in the sockaddr structure
pointed to by the address argument, and store the length of this
address in the object pointed to by the address_len argument.
The address_len argument points to a socklen_t object which on input
specifies the length of the supplied sockaddr structure, and on
output specifies the length of the stored address. If the actual
length of the address is greater than the length of the supplied
sockaddr structure, the stored address shall 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.
Upon successful completion, 0 shall be returned, the address argument
shall point to the address of the socket, and the address_len
argument shall point to the length of the address. Otherwise, −1
shall be returned and errno set to indicate the error.
The getsockname() function shall fail if:
EBADF The socket argument is not a valid file descriptor.
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 function.
