+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.nf

+.P
+.BI "int getsockname(int " sockfd ", struct sockaddr *restrict " addr ,
+.BI " socklen_t *restrict " addrlen );

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.BR getsockname ()
+returns the current address to which the socket
+.I sockfd
+is bound, in the buffer pointed to by
+.IR addr .
+The
+.I addrlen
+argument should be initialized to indicate
+the amount of space (in bytes) pointed to by
+.IR addr .
+On return it contains the actual size of the socket address.
+.P
+The returned address is truncated if the buffer provided is too small;
+in this case,
+.I addrlen
+will return a value greater than was supplied to the call.
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+On success, zero is returned.
+On error, \-1 is returned, and
+.I errno
+is set to indicate the error.
+.SH ERRORS

+.B EBADF
+The argument
+.I sockfd
+is not a valid file descriptor.
