NAME         top

       io_uring_prep_cmd_getsockname - prepare a getsockname or
       getpeername request

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <sys/socket.h>
       #include <liburing.h>

       void io_uring_prep_cmd_getsockname(struct io_uring_sqe *sqe,
                                          int fd,
                                          struct sockaddr *sockaddr,
                                          socklen_t *sockaddr_len,
                                          int peer);

DESCRIPTION         top

       The io_uring_prep_cmd_getsockname(3) function prepares a
       getsockname/getpeername request.  The submission queue entry sqe
       is setup to fetch the locally bound address or peer address of the
       socket file descriptor pointed by sockfd.  The parameter sockaddr
       points to a region of size sockaddr_len where the output is
       written.  sockaddr_len is modified by the kernel on return  to
       indicate how many bytes were written.  The output address is the
       locally bound address if peer is set to 0 or the peer address if
       peer is set to 1.

       This function prepares an async getsockname(2) or getpeername(2)
       request. See those man pages for details.

RETURN VALUE         top

       None

ERRORS         top

       The CQE res field will contain the result of the operation. See
       the related man page for details on possible values. Note that
       where synchronous system calls will return -1 on failure and set
       errno to the actual error value, io_uring never uses errno.
       Instead it returns the negated errno directly in the CQE res
       field.  Differently from the equivalent system calls, if the user
       attempts to use this operation on a non-socket file descriptor,
       the CQE error result is ENOTSUP instead of ENOSOCK.
