NAME¶
getpeername - get name of connected TCP/IP peer
SYNOPSIS¶
getpeername [-n] [-p protocol]
DESCRIPTION¶

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.
