getsockname

Marco Salvi — Thu, 28 Jun 2007 08:43:37 GMT

I have to port a chunk of code on hpux11.23v2 (IA64).

in this code when I tried to use the sys call getsockname, it seems to succeed but in the struct sockaddr contains just 0 in all the fields.

Any idea guys?

Thanks in advance

Hi Marco:

I suggest that you examine the value of 'errno'.

also if the getsockname return 0?

Hi (again) Marco:

Well, a return value of zero for getsockname() indicates a successful call so 'errno' isn't meaningful in that case.

Since you are porting the code over to IA was it working on PARISC? Moreover the source code listing of the portion that is not working would help.
