.TH GETSOCKNAME 3XNET "Jun 10, 2002"
.SH NAME
getsockname \- get the socket name
.SH SYNOPSIS
.LP
.nf
\fBcc\fR [ \fIflag\fR ... ] \fIfile\fR ... \fB-lxnet\fR [ \fIlibrary\fR ... ]
#include <sys/socket.h>

\fBint\fR \fBgetsockname\fR(\fBint\fR \fIsocket\fR, \fBstruct sockaddr *restrict\fR \fIaddress\fR,
     \fBsocklen_t *restrict\fR \fIaddress_len\fR);
.fi

.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
The \fBgetsockname()\fR function retrieves the locally-bound name of the
specified socket, stores this address in the \fBsockaddr\fR structure pointed
to by the \fIaddress\fR argument, and stores the length of this address in the
object pointed to by the \fIaddress_len\fR argument.
.sp
.LP
If the actual length of the address is greater than the length of the supplied
\fBsockaddr\fR structure, the stored address will be truncated.
.sp
.LP
If the socket has not been bound to a local name, the value stored in the
object pointed to by \fIaddress\fR is unspecified.
.SH RETURN VALUES
.sp
.LP
Upon successful completion, 0 is returned, the \fIaddress\fR argument points to
the address of the socket, and the \fIaddress_len\fR argument points to the
length of the address.  Otherwise, \(mi1 is returned and \fBerrno\fR is set to
indicate the error.
