SYNOPSIS

9       getsockname(s, name, namelen)

DESCRIPTION

15       Getsockname  returns  the  current  name for the specified socket.  The
16       namelen parameter should be initialized to indicate the amount of space
17       pointed  to by name.  On return it contains the actual size of the name
18       returned (in bytes).
