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.
