b0d623f7
A
51The
52.Fn getsockname
3e170ce0 53function returns the current
2d21ac55 54.Fa address
b0d623f7
A
55for the specified socket.
56.Pp
57The
2d21ac55 58.Fa address_len
9bccf70c
A
59parameter should be initialized to indicate
60the amount of space pointed to by
2d21ac55 61.Fa address .
b0d623f7 62On return it contains the actual size of the address
9bccf70c 63returned (in bytes).
b0d623f7
A
64.Pp
65The address is truncated if the buffer provided is too small.

66.Pp
67Note: For the UNIX domain, the address length returned is the
68.Fa address_len
69parameter passed to the previous
70.Xr bind 2
71system call and not the
72.Va sa_len
73field of the
74.Fa address
75parameter passed to
76.Xr bind 2 .
