52 returns the current address to which the socket

58 argument should be initialized to indicate
59 the amount of space (in bytes) pointed to by
61 On return it contains the actual size of the socket address.
63 The returned address is truncated if the buffer provided is too small;
66 will return a value greater than was supplied to the call.
68 On success, zero is returned.
69 On error, \-1 is returned, and
71 is set to indicate the error.
77 is not a valid file descriptor.
82 argument points to memory not in a valid part of the

87 is invalid (e.g., is negative).
