NAME

       getpeername - get name of connected TCP/IP peer

SYNOPSIS

       getpeername [-n] [-p protocol]

DESCRIPTION

       getpeername  prints  the  IP  address  and  service  name (port number) of the remote peer
       connected to standard input.  The IP address and the service name are printed on the  same
       line, separated by one space.

OPTIONS

       -n     Don't translate IP addresses and port numbers to names.

       -p protocol
              Force  getpeername to use protocol as the protocol when translating port numbers to
              service names.  Protocol can be tcp and udp.  Normally,  getpeername  automatically
              determines what type of socket it is connected to.

SEE ALSO

       getpeername(3).

BUGS

       Only works on IP sockets.
