NAME

       getpeername - get name of connected peer

SYNOPSIS

       int  getpeername(int  s, struct sockaddr *name, int *name-
       len);

DESCRIPTION

       Getpeername returns the name  of  the  peer  connected  to
       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 of the name returned
       (in bytes).  The name is truncated if the buffer  provided
       is too small.

RETURN VALUE

       On  success,  zero is returned.  On error, -1 is returned,
       and errno is set appropriately.

ERRORS

       ENOTSOCK
               The argument s is a file, not a socket.
       ENOTCONN
               The socket is not connected.
       ENOBUFS Insufficient resources were available in the  sys-
               tem to perform the operation.
       EFAULT  The name parameter points to memory not in a valid
               part of the process address space.
