This function retrieves the name of the peer to which a socket is connected.
Note This function is actually a Winsock function. However, the information that is presented in it is specific to Bluetooth.
int getpeername(SOCKET s,struct sockaddr FAR* name,int FAR* namelen);
Parameters
- s
[in] Descriptor identifying a connected socket. - name
[out] Structure that receives the name of the peer. - namelen
[in, out] Pointer to the size of the name structure.
Return Values
If no error occurs, this function returns zero. If an error occurs, a value of SOCKET_ERROR is returned, and a specific error code can be retrieved by calling WSAGetLastError.
Remarks
Use getpeername on a connected socket to retrieve the Bluetooth address of the peer Bluetooth device.
The following example code shows how to use getpeername.
SOCKADDR_BTH sab;
int len = sizeof(sab);
if (0 == getpeername (s, &sab, &len)) {
wprintf (L"Remote Bluetooth device is %04x%08x, connected to %d\n",
GET_NAP(sab.btAddr), GET_SAP(sab.btAddr), sab.port);
}
For more information about the getpeername function, see getpeername (Windows Sockets) in the Winsock reference.
Requirements
OS Versions: Windows CE .NET 4.0 and later.
Header: Winsock2.h.
