NAME

6       explain_getsockname_or_die - get socket name and report errors
7

SYNOPSIS

9       #include <libexplain/getsockname.h>
10       void explain_getsockname_or_die(int fildes, struct sockaddr *sock_addr,
11       socklen_t *sock_addr_size);
12

DESCRIPTION

14       The explain_getsockname_or_die function is used to  call  the  getsock‐
15       name(2)  system  call.   On  failure  an explanation will be printed to
16       stderr, obtained from explain_getsockname(3), and then the process ter‐
17       minates by calling exit(EXIT_FAILURE).
18
19       This  function  is intended to be used in a fashion similar to the fol‐
20       lowing example:
21              struct sockaddr sock_addr;
22              socklen_t sock_addr_size = sizeof(sock_addr);
23              explain_getsockname_or_die(fildes, &sock_addr, &sock_addr_size);
24
25       fildes  The fildes, exactly as to be passed to the getsockname(2)  sys‐
26               tem call.
27
28       sock_addr
29               The  sock_addr,  exactly  as to be passed to the getsockname(2)
30               system call.
31
32       sock_addr_size
33               The sock_addr_size, exactly as to be  passed  to  the  getsock‐
34               name(2) system call.
35
36       Returns:
37               This  function  only returns on success, see getsockaddr(1) for
38               more information.  On failure, prints an explanation and exits.
