NAME

     getpeername - get name of connected peer

SYNOPSIS

     #include <sys/socket.h>

     int getpeername(int s, struct sockaddr *name, int *namelen

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  con-
     tains  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

     EBADF   The argument s is not a valid descriptor.

     ENOTSOCK
             The argument s is a file, not a socket.

     ENOTCONN
             The socket is not connected.

     ENOBUFS Insufficient resources were available in the  system
             to perform the operation.

     EFAULT  The name parameter points to memory not in  a  valid
             part of the process address space.
