The .Fa namelen argument should be initialized to indicate the amount of space pointed to by .Fa 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. .Sh RETURN VALUES .Rv -std getpeername .Sh ERRORS The call succeeds unless: l -tag -width Er t Bq Er EBADF The argument .Fa s is not a valid descriptor. t Bq Er ECONNRESET The connection has been reset by the peer. t Bq Er EINVAL The value of the .Fa namelen argument is not valid. t Bq Er ENOTSOCK The argument .Fa s is a file, not a socket. t Bq Er ENOTCONN The socket is not connected. t Bq Er ENOBUFS Insufficient resources were available in the system to perform the operation. t Bq Er EFAULT The .Fa name argument points to memory not in a valid part of the process address space. .El .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr accept 2 , .Xr bind 2 , .Xr getsockname 2 , .Xr socket 2 .Sh HISTORY The .Fn getpeername system call appeared in x 4.2 .
