getsockname − get socket name
#include <sys/socket.h>
int getsockname(int sockfd, struct sockaddr *addr, socklen_t *addrlen);
getsockname() returns the current address to which the socket sockfd is bound, in the buffer pointed to by addr. The addrlen argument should be initialized to indicate the amount of space (in bytes) pointed to by addr. On return it contains the actual size of the socket address.
The returned address is truncated if the buffer provided is too small; in this case, addrlen will return a value greater than was supplied to the call.
On success, zero is returned. On error, −1 is returned, and errno is set appropriately.
