1 perry 8 !!DESCRIPTION

20 !!CONFORMING TO
2 PerryLorier 21 SVr4, 4.4BSD (the getsockname(2) function call appeared in 4.2BSD). SVr4 documents additional [ENOMEM] and [ENOSR] error codes.

23 !!NOTE
2 PerryLorier 24 The third argument of getsockname(2) is in reality an `int *' (and this is what BSD 4.* and libc4 and libc5 have). Some POSIX confusion resulted in the present socklen_t. The draft standard has not been adopted yet, but glibc2 already follows it and also has socklen_t. See also accept(2).

4 NickJohnson 26 [NickJohnson] adds: If getsockname is called on an unbound inet socket, ((struct sockaddr_in *)name)->sin_family will be AF_INET, and ((struct sockaddr_in *)name)->sin_addr.s_addr will be INADDR_ANY.
