.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Fn Getsockname
returns the current

A 0 is returned if the call succeeds, -1 if it fails.

The call succeeds unless:
.Bl -tag -width Er

The argument
.Fa s
is not a valid descriptor.
.It Bq Er ENOTSOCK
The argument
.Fa s
is a file, not a socket.
.It Bq Er ENOBUFS
Insufficient resources were available in the system
to perform the operation.
.It Bq Er EFAULT
The 
.Fa name
parameter points to memory not in a valid part of the
process address space.
