SYNOPSIS
| |
cc [ flag ... ] file ... -lsocket -lnsl [ library ... ]
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
int getpeername(int s, struct sockaddr *name, socklen_t *namelen); |
| |
getpeername() returns the name of the peer connected to socket s. The int pointed to by the namelen parameter
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), prior to any truncation. The name
is truncated if the buffer provided is too small.

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