getsockname (Bluetooth)

  • Article

This function retrieves the local name for a socket.

Note   This function is actually a Winsock function. However, the information that is presented in it is specific to Bluetooth.

int getsockname(
  SOCKET s,
  struct SOCK_ADDR* name,
  int FAR* namelen
);

Parameters

  • s
    [in] Descriptor identifying a socket.
  • name
    [out] Receives the address (name) of the socket.
  • namelen
    [in, out] Size of the name buffer.

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 getsockname to retrieve the server channel allocated to the socket by a call to bind and the Bluetooth address of local device.

The following example code shows how to use getsockname.

SOCKADDR_BTH sab;
int len = sizeof(sab);
if (0 == getsockname (s, &sab, &len)) {
  wprintf (L"Local Bluetooth device is %04x%08x, server channel = %d\n",
  GET_NAP(sab.btAddr), GET_SAP(sab.btAddr), sab.port);
}

For more information about the getsockname function, see getsockname (Windows Sockets) in the Winsock reference.
