LPINT lpErrno
);
Parameters
- s
[in] Descriptor identifying a connected socket.
- name
[out] Pointer to the structure to receive the name of the peer.
- namelen
[in, out] Pointer to an integer that, on input, indicates the size of the structure pointed to by name, and on output indicates the size of the returned name.
- lpErrno
[out] Pointer to the error code.
Return Value
If no error occurs, this function returns zero. Otherwise, a value of SOCKET_ERROR is returned, and a specific error code is available in lpErrno.
The following table shows the possible error codes.

WSAENOTCONN |
Socket is not connected. |
WSAENOTSOCK |
Descriptor is not a socket. |
Remarks
This function supplies the name of the peer connected to the socket s and stores it in the structure sockaddr referenced by name. It can be used only on a connected socket. For datagram sockets, only the name of a peer specified in a previous WSPConnect call will be returnedany name specified by a previous WSPSendTo call will not be returned by WSPGetPeerName.
On return, the namelen parameter contains the actual size of the name returned in bytes.
