socket_getpeername — Queries the remote side of the given socket which may either result in host/port or in a Unix filesystem path, dependent on its type
Description
Queries the remote side of the given socket which may either result in host/port or in a Unix filesystem path, dependent on its type.
Parameters
-
socket
-
A Socket instance created with socket_create() or socket_accept().
-
address
-
If the given socket is of type
AF_INET
orAF_INET6
, socket_getpeername() will return the peers (remote) IP address in appropriate notation (e.g.127.0.0.1
orfe80::1
) in theaddress
parameter and, if the optionalport
parameter is present, also the associated port.If the given socket is of type
AF_UNIX
, socket_getpeername() will return the Unix filesystem path (e.g./var/run/daemon.sock
) in theaddress
parameter. -
port
-
If given, this will hold the port associated to
address
.
Return Values
Returns true
on success or false
on failure. socket_getpeername() may also return
false
if the socket type is not any of AF_INET
,
AF_INET6
, or AF_UNIX
, in which
case the last socket error code is not updated.

Notes
Note:
socket_getpeername() should not be used with
AF_UNIX
sockets created with socket_accept(). Only sockets created with socket_connect() or a primary server socket following a call to socket_bind() will return meaningful values.
Note:
For having socket_getpeername() to return a meaningful value, the socket it is applied upon must of course be one for which the concept of "peer" makes sense.
