getpeername − get name of connected peer
#include <sys/socket.h>
int getpeername(int s, struct sockaddr *name, int *namelen);
Getpeername returns the name of the peer connected to socket s. The namelen parameter should be initialized to indicate the amount of space pointed to by name. On return it contains the actual size of the name returned (in bytes). The name is truncated if the buffer provided is too small.
On success, zero is returned. On error, −1 is returned, and errno is set appropriately.
