Originální popis anglicky: 
getpeername - get name of connected peer socket
Návod, kniha: Linux Programmer's Manual
#include <sys/socket.h>
 
int getpeername(int s, struct sockaddr *name,
  socklen_t *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.
  - EBADF
 
  - The argument s is not a valid descriptor.
 
  - EFAULT
 
  - The name parameter points to memory not in a valid
      part of the process address space.
 
  - ENOBUFS
 
  - Insufficient resources were available in the system to
      perform the operation.
 
  - ENOTCONN
 
  - The socket is not connected.
 
  - ENOTSOCK
 
  - The argument s is a file, not a socket.
 
SVr4, 4.4BSD (the 
getpeername function call first appeared in 4.2BSD).
The third argument of 
getpeername is in reality an `int *' (and this is
  what BSD 4.* and libc4 and libc5 have). Some POSIX confusion resulted in the
  present socklen_t, also used by glibc. See also 
accept(2).
